Function Parse

gjson.go:471–516

Parse parses the json and returns a result. This function expects that the json is well-formed, and does not validate. Invalid json will not panic, but it may return back unexpected results. If you are consuming JSON from an unpredictable source then you may want to use the Valid function first.

// use the Valid function first.

// If working with bytes, this method preferred over Parse(string(data))
