A light-weight single-include C++ JSON library, relying on KISS (Keep It Stupid Simple) convention and C++11 STL. Supports JSON string parsing and "beautiful" dumping. "Easy" C++-like syntax is also supported.
Yes, it`s just another JSON library that aims to achieve quick compilation times, simplicity and ease of use, nothing more. It implements its own universal string->integer and string->floating point conversion bindings based on templates. Works on any signed or unsigned integer, on any floating point type. Don't excpect to fully compliantly "edit" JSON strings with this library, it only supports correctly parsing JSON strings to C++ objects and not vice versa. That is because corners have been cut to save on code size and thus compilation times. Writing this library a simplifying decision was made to treat all JSON data types as strings only. To overcome this limitation, the aforementioned conversion algorithms have been provided with this library as an extra.
This library also supports exceptions, they are designed to give hint about obvious syntax errors and to be, yet again, simple.
Using the C++ library is pretty self-explanatory in its essence so no extra
documentation has been provided with it. The usage of the C bindings is a little
more tricky due to the language itself, thus more often than not the extra
documentation in the C_bindings/src subdirectory might be helpful.
In the folder C_bindings of my repository you can find the needed source files to
compile the C bindings of this C++ library yourself. If you think that would be unnecessary work,
you can just download the 64-bit libjsonlite.a file from the bin subdirectory (as long
as you GCC/G++ to link the final executable). If you want a 32-bit version then
you have to unfortunately compile it yourself.
The extra documentation necessary for the C bindings is also located in src subdirectory.
In my opinion a comprehensive enough testing has been done, the jsonlite library has been tested with hundreds of megabytes of TeliaTV's programme descriptions and any bugs are yet to be found. If you find any scenario under which my library breaks down while attempting to parse/use syntactically correct JSON files, feel free to report those bugs under the Issues tab.
