======Synopsis:======
[[json_explode]](<<var>> <<json data>>)

======Technical:======
This function de-serialises a valid [[http://json.org/|JSON]] string into an assign variable structure with the provided name.

JSON object names are converted into valid assign variable names by replacing all non-alphanumeric characters with the underscore character.  JSON string values are loaded as-is (up to any embedded Unicode NUL character); JSON numeric values are converted subject to [[set_floating_point_math]] and [[set_floating_point_precision]]; JSON true and false boolean values are converted to 1 and 0 respectively; and JSON null values are converted to an empty string.

If the function fails, the result variable is not modified and a descriptive error string is available from the [[json_error]] function.

======Returns:======
| 1   |The function succeeded.|
|<<empty>>|The function failed.|

======Examples:======

  @ json = [ \
  { \
      "name": "Jack (\"Bee\") Nimble", \
      "format": { \
          "type":       "rect", \
          "width":      1920, \
          "height":     1080, \
          "interlace":  false, \
          "frame rate": 24 \
      } \
  }]
  
  if (json_explode(foo $json)) {   
      echo $foo[format][width]
  } else {
      echo JSON parse error: $json_error()
  }
