I don't think you need this complicated logic here. You start at idx =
0, so even if you receive 0 bytes, you'll terminate buffer at index 0.
You also break when idx reaches (MAX_JSON_STRING_LEN - 1), so it's also
safe to do json_data[idx] after the loop. In all other cases, you still
increment idx before breaking out (e.g. when reaching indent == 0), so
it's also safe to do json_data[idx] in those cases.
