I'm not interested in JSON here. I've mentioned json_parse_string
because it contains the functionality I'm looking for.
What I'd like to get is a function, which takes a sequence of bytes as
arguments, and which indicates, whether this is a valid UTF-8 byte
sequence. This indication could be an error, or a respective return
value.
Best regards, Michael.
