[Jsoncpp-devel] Added tests from jsonchecker, a few failing tests.

[Baptiste L. <bap...@gm...>]

I just added the tests from jsonchecker (http://json.org/JSON_checker/).

The good news is that we only have missing failures, all the "pass" tests
pass...  Failure details can be found below.

I have modified the reader to allow support of a "strict" mode. The Reader
now accept a Features instance which describes which extension are allowed.
JsonCpp supports for comments and non array/object as root value (see
features.h) for instance.

The failures fall into a few categories:

   1. Extra text after root JSON value
   2. Forbidden control character inside string
   3. Bad real number
   4. Too deep nesting of values

My take on this would be to make 1 & 4 extensions (features that can be
turned off), and 2 & 3 always fail.

1 makes is already supported by python JSON API
4 makes sense for portability, but can be handy (assuming the nesting
limitation is not only for array)

Has anyone a different mind on this? Anyone willing to tackle some of the
failure?

(on a side note, I fixed unit tests execution when running with scons).
