[JSON][json-org] 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.

## 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.

## Using JsonCpp in your project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### The vcpkg dependency manager
|
||
|
|
You can download and install JsonCpp using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
||
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
||
|
|
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
|
||
|
|
./vcpkg integrate install
|
||
|
|
./vcpkg install jsoncpp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The JsonCpp port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
