Take a look at a recent ticket 5682. It added a new scope and a
parameter within it. Your task is simpler, because you don't need to add
extra scopes, just a new parameter in existing global scope.

The commit you may look at is 4cb3ae1902f433136ef5a6077a7b8c3cf996b5e5.

Look at the .yy and .ll changes. You don't need to modify
parser_context. You need to modify the code in json_config_parser.cc
a bit to store your new parameter. Also, take a look at
src/lib/dhcpsrv/parsers/simple_parser6.cc. This is where the defaults
are set up.

Make sure you compile with --enable-generate-parser and have flex and
bison installed.

Good luck,
Tomek
