How to free json_object?

Question

I have the following code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <string.h>

#include <json/json.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
      json_object *new_obj;
      char buf[] = "{ \"foo\": \"bar\", \"foo2\": \"bar2\", \"foo3\": \"bar3\" }";
      new_obj = json_tokener_parse(buf);
      .....
      json_object_put(new_obj);
}

Does the json_object_put(new_obj) free all memory related to new_obj ?

Answer 1

From the documentation:

void json_object_put    (struct json_object *this)  

Decrement the reference count of json_object and free if it reaches zero
