Error handling

jsonformat does not report malformed json - it can't even fully know whether the json is actually malformed. Malformed json is just formatted kind of incorrectly, with no data lost and no crashes. If you find one, open an issue,

How?

jsonformat does not actually parse the json, it just loops through each character and keeps track of some flags. It then copies these characters to the output buffer, adding and removing whitespace.
