- in the original master code, after dealloc(item) in cJSON_Delete, item is not assigned to NULL, which makes item as a dangling pointer and if the item is used, it causes a seg fault.
- assigned item to NULL
- similarly done in other places.
…angling pointer if not done; similarly done in other places after dealloc
