Re: Where do you store raw JSON?

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

The purpose of this subprocedure is to save a STRING VALUE from a node 
to a stream file.  This is useful when one JSON node has been used to 
store the contents of an entire file (for example, when an XML document 
has been placed inside a JSON wrapper).

So it is equivalent to YAJL_GET_STRING except that it saves to a stream 
file instead of returning the result to your program.

It does not convert a YAJL node back to JSON format.  If you want to do 
that, you need to use the YAJL_stringify() routine.  (This returns its 
output to a buffer, not a stream file -- you'd have to write it to a 
file yourself.)
