Apparently std::make_unique is sort of a wrapper for new (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptr/make_unique) and actually creates a new object from the passed in parameter. This is likely why we still see the memory leak with this in. Apparently this is the more appropriate way to create a unique pointer from the returned char*

 std::unique_ptr<char, decltype(std::free) *> payloadPtr{ cJSON_Print(msg->payload), std::free };

Could you try this and see if it works?

json["payload"] = StringToJson(*payloadPtr);
}
}
