+
+== DESCRIPTION ==
++json_read_object()+ attempts to parse a whole JSON object from the
+buffer pointed at by the first argument.  The second argument points
+at an array of template structures describing the expected shape of 
+the JSON object (that is, the set of attribute names and their
+expected value types. order-independent) and specifying for each 
+attribute a C address where the parsed value should ve deivered.
+The third argument, if non-null, is where a copy of a pointer
+to just past the parsed object  is placed.
+
++json_read_object()+ attempts to parse a whole JSON object from the
+buffer pointed at by the first argument.  The second argument points
+at a template structure describing the array's elenent type and where
+successive elements are to be placed. The third argument, if non-null,
+is where a copy of a pointer to just past the parsed object is placed.
+
+Objects may contain arrays as attribute values, and an array may be
+composed of JSON objects.  These functions mutually recurse as
+required.
+
++void json_enable_debug(int, FILE *)+ enables the generation of trace
+messages to the indicated file pointer while parsing.
+
+For details on how to build template structures, consult the document
+_Building Static JSON Parsers With Microjson_ shipped with the
+distribution.
+
+== RETURN VALUE ==
+
+The two main functions return 0 for success, a nonzero error code for
+failure.  The function +json_error_string()+ maps error codes to
+explanatory messages.
