#1: Please check out the commit adding unit tests: http://lists.askmonty.org/pipermail/commits/2021-November/014773.html It turns out it is not that hard to add them. Any comments/ways to improve this? #2: In the above commit, note that two last unit tests show a scenario that is not currently checked. #3: What is the point of functions Json_writer::on_add_str(), Json_writer::on_start_array, Json_writer::on_start_object() ? I would understand if all the checking code was isolated in these functions. But it isn't. Please either remove the functions or explain the reasoning. #4 See the input below about the commit comment. Please change (feel free to force-push into the branch after that). I think this is all the input, and the patch will be ready for pushing once all of this is addressed.

Something like this:

Line #1: one-line description of the patch:

MDEV-23766: Make attempts to write invalid JSON cause assertion failures

Subsequent lines:

...

...

Make JSON writing API (class Json_writer) check the produced JSON document is valid. The following checks are made: - JSON objects must contain named members - JSON arrays must contain unnamed members. - (TODO: add other restrictions we're enforcing).
