The internal representation of a JSON array counts the items in
size_t. However, for some reason, when asking for the count it's
reported as int. Firstly, we need the function to return a signed
type as it's returning -1 on an error. But, not every system has
integer the same size as size_t. Therefore, lets return ssize_t.
