Description

Schemas like "null", "int", "string", etc. (instead of the longer,

{type: "null"}

,

{type: "int"}

, etc.) are not accepted by the C implementation.

This seems to be a problem with the jansson JSON library used. It (strictly correctly) says that simple strings are not JSON objects.

Switching to the yajl[1] library would fix this as yajl accepts "subsets" of JSON like strings, numbers and so on.
