     26  * How It Works
     27  *
     28  * For each JSON Object, json-c maintains a linked list of zero
     29  * or more lh_entry (link-hash entry) structures inside the
     30  * Object's link-hash table (lh_table).
     31  *
     32  * Each lh_entry structure on the JSON Object's linked list
     33  * represents a single name/value pair.  The "next" field of the
     34  * last lh_entry in the list is set to NULL, which terminates
     35  * the list.
     36  *
     37  * We represent a valid iterator that refers to an actual
     38  * name/value pair via a pointer to the pair's lh_entry
     39  * structure set as the iterator's opaque_ field.
     40  *
     41  * We follow json-c's current pair list representation by
     42  * representing a valid "end" iterator (one that refers past the
     43  * last pair) with a NULL value in the iterator's opaque_ field.
     44  *
     45  * A JSON Object without any pairs in it will have the "head"
     46  * field of its lh_table structure set to NULL.  For such an
     47  * object, json_object_iter_begin will return an iterator with
     48  * the opaque_ field set to NULL, which is equivalent to the
     49  * "end" iterator.
     50  *
     51  * When iterating, we simply update the iterator's opaque_ field
     52  * to point to the next lh_entry structure in the linked list.
     53  * opaque_ will become NULL once we iterate past the last pair
     54  * in the list, which makes the iterator equivalent to the "end"
     55  * iterator.
