This patch could also add src/json-test to .gitignore.

It's probably sufficient to set srbchannel_test_SOURCES just once.

What's the rationale for this macro? Why is using the macro better than
using o->type directly?

Control characters 0x00 <= *str <= 0x1F should cause an error, since
they are disallowed by the JSON spec (0x00 is maybe special, since it
signifies end-of-string, but that should cause an error nevertheless).

Also, JSON data can be UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 encoded, but this code
doesn't take that into account. If we are fed valid multi-byte
sequences, this code probably can get confused. I feel it would be
safest to only support 7-bit ASCII, and disallow any characters above
0x7F.

Missing overflow checking (imagine "12341234123412341234123412341234").

parse_number() doesn't seem to ever fail. Surely we should check that
we're not fed any random crap that happens to start with "-" or with a
digit? Maybe the idea is that parse_value() will fail if there's any
non-whitespace stuff left after parse_number() returns. In that case, I
think it would be good to have a comment about that in parse_number(),
and at least those cases need to be checked where some mandatory
content is missing (like "-", "1.", "1.e3" or "1e").

str is either NULL or points to after the parsed non-string value. Is
that really what you want to log?

As we parse nested objects, maybe we should check that we don't recurse
too deep. Consider {"a":{"a":{"a":{"a":{.... I remember libdbus used to
be vulnerable to this kind of an attack that made libdbus allocate so
deep stack that it crashed the application.

str is NULL, don't log it.

obj->object_values should be set to NULL.

I think a regular assertion would fit better here.

I think it's better style to assign to obj only after the parsing has
succeeded. Now you're returning a pointer to freed data in case of
failure.

There's no final "else" branch here. If none of these checks evaluate
to true, that should be an error.

end can be NULL so maybe use pa_strnull()? I don't know if this is
required. I think glibc handles NULL gracefully, but the manual page
for printf appears silent on this, so probably this is undefined
behaviour.

This will crash on any parse failure...

Is it a programming error to call this function with non-int object? If
yes, a regular assertion should be used. If not, then shouldn't the
caller decide whether to log something or not? (In case you didn't
know, pa_return_val_if_fail() prints "Assertion %s failed..." at debug
log level.)

This same comment applies to the following functions too.

This isn't a public API, so this seems unnecessary.
