Given some JSON in a string (whether zero terminated or not), you can parse it with `cJSON_ParseWithLength`.
```c
cJSON *json = cJSON_ParseWithLength(string, buffer_length);
```
It will parse the JSON and allocate a tree of `cJSON` items that represents it. Once it returns, you are fully responsible for deallocating it after use with `cJSON_Delete`.
The allocator used by `cJSON_Parse` is `malloc` and `free` by default but can be changed (globally) with `cJSON_InitHooks`.

If you want more options, use `cJSON_ParseWithOpts(const char *value, const char **return_parse_end, cJSON_bool require_null_terminated)`.
`return_parse_end` returns a pointer to the end of the JSON in the input string or the position that an error occurs at (thereby replacing `cJSON_GetErrorPtr` in a thread safe way). `require_null_terminated`, if set to `1` will make it an error if the input string contains data after the JSON.
If you want more options giving buffer length, use `cJSON_ParseWithLengthOpts(const char *value, size_t buffer_length, const char **return_parse_end, cJSON_bool require_null_terminated)`.
### Printing JSON
Given a tree of `cJSON` items, you can print them as a string using `cJSON_Print`.
