#58 Parse an error string but no returning false or expection

[yyy_3y]

#include <iostream>
#include <json/json.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace Json;

int main()
{
string s;
s = "957{\"uid\":\"181800860\"}";
//if the first is a character of number 0~9,
//then the following parse will not return false,
//but when running to the value["uid"], an expection is thrown

Value value;
Reader reader;

if (!reader.parse(s, value)) {
cout << "error" << endl;
return 0;
}
value["uid"];
}

This problem leads to even more serious issues.

1. Parse an invalid object as above.
2. Your program will think it has a parsed json. But since you know about this bug, you perform several checks on the object before you access the data (isMember("xxx"), get("xxx", "fail") etc.
   All these checks will ALSO result in a crash, hence this is a very serious bug
