Description:
README file says that if the first document does not contain opening curly bracket, JSON_MERGE should return NULL. But it does not.

How to repeat:
mysql> select json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' )\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' ): {  }

A user reports different output:

mysql> select json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' )\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' ): "a":"b", "c":"d"}

Sorry: used outdated udf binary. With correct binary results are still wrong, but in different way:

mysql> select json_merge('[1,2]', '[3,4,5]' );
+---------------------------------+
| json_merge('[1,2]', '[3,4,5]' ) |
+---------------------------------+
| [1,2]                           |
+---------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' );
+--------------------------------------+
| json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' ) |
+--------------------------------------+
| "a":"b", "c":"d"}                    |
+--------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' );
+--------------------------------------+
| json_merge('"a":"b"}', '{"c":"d"}' ) |
+--------------------------------------+
| "a":"b", "c":"d"}                    |
+--------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
