/* snippet Length_macro_documentation
This macro can be used to get the length of a JSON array.
The macro first fetches the JSON value using the argument the same way as `json:get` does, but instead of the value it returns the length of the array.
If the value is a boolean, string, number or JSON objects, essentially anything else than an array, then an error will happen.

The result can be used to iterate through the elements, for example using the macros of the module `jamal-prog`.

{%sample/
{@json:length macro_name/JSONPointer}
%}

or

{%sample/
{@json:length macro_name/JSONPointer | macro_name/JSONPointer | ...}
%}

The second format will try to get the first, then the second and so on pointer from one or more JSON structures until one of them is found.
If one of the pointers finds a value but that is not an array then an error will happen.

==== Examples

{%sample/
{@json:define a={a:"alma",b:2,c: 3,d:[1,2,{q:{h:"deep h"}}]}}\
@json:length a/d/ = "{@json:get a/d}"
%}

will result
