The name of an object is lost when calling cJSON_ReplaceItemInObject()

[claudiusaiz]

What I would like to do is replace a child object with another object:

new_child = cJSON_CreateObject();
cJSON_ReplaceItemInObject(parent, "child", new_child);

But the problem with this is that the name of the object gets lost after the replacement. I see that the name is not copied in cJSON_ReplaceItemViaPointer().

For those having the same problem an alternative to this is:

new_child = cJSON_CreateObject();
cJSON_DeleteItemFromObject(parent, "child");
cJSON_AddItemToObjectCS(parent, "child", new_child);

, with the disadvantage that the position of the object in the array will not be the same. The JSON standard says it shouldn't matter, but in the end it depends on the endpoint's parser implementation.

This is a bug. This has been different in previous versions of cJSON.

Thanks for reporting!

Thanks for the quick fix! I can confirm it works as expected.
