> json_utils — Kinetica Rust API

[gpudb\_api](https://docs.kinetica.com/content/api/rust/index.md)
[Source](https://github.com/kineticadb/kinetica-api-rust/blob/master/crates/gpudb-api/src/json_utils.rs#L1-L836) 

Whether a text is a JSON object or array, and how a list of JSON records is sent as one array.A text is read leniently: unquoted and single-quoted names and values, `;` between members, and trailing, empty and leading commas are taken, and whatever follows the outermost object or array is ignored. A name twice in one object is not taken. Only whether the text parses is answered.The parse keeps its own stack, so it has no limit on nesting depth.
