## Contributing to JsonCpp
### Building
Both CMake and Meson tools are capable of generating a variety of build environments for you preferred development environment.
Using cmake or meson you can generate an XCode, Visual Studio, Unix Makefile, Ninja, or other environment that fits your needs.
An example of a common Meson/Ninja environment is described next.
### Building and testing with Meson/Ninja
Thanks to David Seifert (@SoapGentoo), we (the maintainers) now use
[meson](http://mesonbuild.com/) and [ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) to build
for debugging, as well as for continuous integration (see
[`./travis_scripts/meson_builder.sh`](./travis_scripts/meson_builder.sh) ). Other systems may work, but minor
things like version strings might break.
First, install both meson (which requires Python3) and ninja.
If you wish to install to a directory other than /usr/local, set an environment variable called DESTDIR with the desired path:
DESTDIR=/path/to/install/dir
Then,
cd jsoncpp/
BUILD_TYPE=debug
#BUILD_TYPE=release
LIB_TYPE=shared
#LIB_TYPE=static
meson --buildtype ${BUILD_TYPE} --default-library ${LIB_TYPE} . build-${LIB_TYPE}
#ninja -v -C build-${LIB_TYPE} test # This stopped working on my Mac.
ninja -v -C build-${LIB_TYPE}
cd build-${LIB_TYPE}
meson test --no-rebuild --print-errorlogs
sudo ninja install
### Building and testing with other build systems
See https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp/wiki/Building
### Running the tests manually
You need to run tests manually only if you are troubleshooting an issue.
In the instructions below, replace `path/to/jsontest` with the path of the
`jsontest` executable that was compiled on your platform.
cd test
# This will run the Reader/Writer tests
python runjsontests.py path/to/jsontest
# This will run the Reader/Writer tests, using JSONChecker test suite
# (http://www.json.org/JSON_checker/).
# Notes: not all tests pass: JsonCpp is too lenient (for example,
# it allows an integer to start with '0'). The goal is to improve
# strict mode parsing to get all tests to pass.
python runjsontests.py --with-json-checker path/to/jsontest
# This will run the unit tests (mostly Value)
python rununittests.py path/to/test_lib_json
# You can run the tests using valgrind:
python rununittests.py --valgrind path/to/test_lib_json
### Building the documentation
Run the Python script `doxybuild.py` from the top directory:
python doxybuild.py --doxygen=$(which doxygen) --open --with-dot
See `doxybuild.py --help` for options.
### Adding a reader/writer test
To add a test, you need to create two files in test/data:
* a `TESTNAME.json` file, that contains the input document in JSON format.
* a `TESTNAME.expected` file, that contains a flatened representation of the
input document.
The `TESTNAME.expected` file format is as follows:
* Each line represents a JSON element of the element tree represented by the
input document.
* Each line has two parts: the path to access the element separated from the
element value by `=`. Array and object values are always empty (i.e.
represented by either `[]` or `{}`).
* Element path `.` represents the root element, and is used to separate object
members. `[N]` is used to specify the value of an array element at index `N`.
See the examples `test_complex_01.json` and `test_complex_01.expected` to better understand element paths.
### Understanding reader/writer test output
When a test is run, output files are generated beside the input test files. Below is a short description of the content of each file:
* `test_complex_01.json`: input JSON document.
* `test_complex_01.expected`: flattened JSON element tree used to check if
parsing was corrected.
* `test_complex_01.actual`: flattened JSON element tree produced by `jsontest`
from reading `test_complex_01.json`.
* `test_complex_01.rewrite`: JSON document written by `jsontest` using the
`Json::Value` parsed from `test_complex_01.json` and serialized using
`Json::StyledWritter`.
* `test_complex_01.actual-rewrite`: flattened JSON element tree produced by
`jsontest` from reading `test_complex_01.rewrite`.
* `test_complex_01.process-output`: `jsontest` output, typically useful for
understanding parsing errors.
