    <section id="jansson.f.jansson_get">
        <title>
            <function moreinfo="none">jansson_get(key/path, src, dst)</function>
        </title>
        <para>
            Copy the value at the location 'path' from the json object 'src' and store it in pvar 'dst'.
        </para>
        <para>
            The path string supports dot delimited notation (e.g. foo.bar.baz), array notation (e.g. [0]), or a combination of the two (e.g. foo.bar[0][1].baz).
        </para>
        <para>
            The function can put a string, integer, null, or new json string into destination.
 	    If the key/path can't be found in the JSON data structure, the pvar is not changed. If it had a previous
	    value, that value remains unchanged.
        </para>
        <para>
            <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> For JSON-Integer values exceeding the C-Integer boundaries, a String representing the number is returned.
        </para>
        <example>

        <programlisting format="linespecific">
...
jansson_get("inner.deep.list[3]", $var(myjson), "$var(n)");
xlog("foo is $var(n)");
...
        </programlisting>
        </example>
    </section>
    <section id="jansson.f.jansson_set">
        <title>
            <function moreinfo="none">jansson_set(type, key/path, value, result)</function>
        </title>
        <para>
            Insert 'value' as 'type' at location 'path' into 'result'.
        </para>
        <para>
            The path string works the same as in jansson_get.
        </para>
        <para>
            Valid 'type' parameters are 'integer', 'real', 'string', 'object', 'array', 'true', 'false', and 'null'  as well as
            abbriviated names such as 'int', 'str', and 'obj'. 'value' is ignored when type is 'true', 'false', or 'null'.
        </para>
        <para>
            <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> If you want to insert a JSON-Integer value exceeding the C-Integer boundaries (e.g. C-type long), the a the number can be provided as a string.
        </para>

        </title>
        <para>
            Like jansson_set but can be used to append to arrays. It can also be used to combine two json objects.
        </para>
        <para>
            Note that when appending a json object to another json object, if there is a key that is shared between the two objects, that value will be overwritten by the new object.
        </para>
        <example>

            Puts the size of the array in 'src' at location 'path' into the pvar 'dst'.
        </para>
        <para>
            This is particularly useful for looping through an array. See example.
