README
JsonCpp
JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent numbers, strings, ordered sequences of values, and collections of name/value pairs.
JsonCpp is a C++ library that allows manipulating JSON values, including serialization and deserialization to and from strings. It can also preserve existing comment in unserialization/serialization steps, making it a convenient format to store user input files.
Documentation
JsonCpp documentation is generated using Doxygen.
A note on backward-compatibility
1.y.z
is built with C++11.0.y.z
can be used with older compilers.00.11.z
can be used both in old and new compilers.- Major versions maintain binary-compatibility.
Special note
The branch 00.11.z
is a new branch, its major version number 00
is to show that it is
different from 0.y.z
and 1.y.z
, the main purpose of this branch is to make a balance
between the other two branches. Thus, users can use some new features in this new branch
that introduced in 1.y.z, but can hardly applied into 0.y.z.
