It can represent -numbers, strings, ordered sequences of values, and collections of name/value -pairs. - -[json-org]: http://json.org/ - -[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. - -[JsonCpp]: http://open-source-parsers.github.io/jsoncpp-docs/doxygen/index.html - -## A note on backward-compatibility -* `1.y.z` is built with C++11. -* `0.y.z` can be used with older compilers. -* Major versions maintain binary-compatibility. - -# Using JsonCpp in your project ------------------------------ -The recommended approach to integrating JsonCpp in your project is to include -the [amalgamated source](#generating-amalgamated-source-and-header) (a single -`.cpp` file and two `.h` files) in your project, and compile and build as you -would any other source file. This ensures consistency of compilation flags and -ABI compatibility, issues which arise when building shared or static -libraries. See the next section for instructions. - -The `include/` should be added to your compiler include path. Jsoncpp headers -should be included as follow: - - #include <json/json.h> - -If JsonCpp was built as a dynamic library on Windows, then your project needs to -define the macro `JSON_DLL`. - -Generating amalgamated source and header ----------------------------------------- -JsonCpp is provided with a script to generate a single header and a single -source file to ease inclusion into an existing project. The amalgamated source -can be generated at any time by running the following command from the -top-directory (this requires Python 2.6): - - python amalgamate.py - -It is possible to specify header name. See the `-h` option for detail. - -By default, the following files are generated: -* `dist/jsoncpp.cpp`: source file that needs to be added to your project. -* `dist/json/json.h`: corresponding header file for use in your project. It is - equivalent to including `json/json.h` in non-amalgamated source. This header - only depends on standard headers. -* `dist/json/json-forwards.h`: header that provides forward declaration of all - JsonCpp types. - -The amalgamated sources are generated by concatenating JsonCpp source in the -correct order and defining the macro `JSON_IS_AMALGAMATION` to prevent inclusion -of other headers. - -# Contributing to JsonCpp - -Building and testing with CMake -------------------------------- -[CMake][] is a C++ Makefiles/Solution generator. It is usually available on most -Linux system as package. On Ubuntu: - - sudo apt-get install cmake - -[CMake]: http://www.cmake.org - -Note that Python is also required to run the JSON reader/writer tests. If -missing, the build will skip running those tests. - -When running CMake, a few parameters are required: - -* a build directory where the makefiles/solution are generated. It is also used - to store objects, libraries and executables files. -* the generator to use: makefiles or Visual Studio solution? What version or - Visual Studio, 32 or 64 bits solution? - -Steps for generating solution/makefiles using `cmake-gui`: - -* Make "source code" point to the source directory. -* Make "where to build the binary" point to the directory to use for the build. -* Click on the "Grouped" check box. -* Review JsonCpp build options (tick `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` to build as a - dynamic library). -* Click the configure button at the bottom, then the generate button. -* The generated solution/makefiles can be found in the binary directory. - -Alternatively, from the command-line on Unix in the source directory: - - mkdir -p build/debug - cd build/debug - cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DARCHIVE_INSTALL_DIR=. -G "Unix Makefiles" ../.. - make - -Running `cmake -h` will display the list of available generators (passed using -the `-G` option). - -By default CMake hides compilation commands. This can be modified by specifying -`-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=true` when generating makefiles. - -Building and testing with SCons -------------------------------- -**Note:** The SCons-based build system is deprecated. Please use CMake; see the -section above. - -JsonCpp can use [Scons][] as a build system. Note that SCons requires Python to -be installed. - -[SCons]: http://www.scons.org/ - -Invoke SCons as follows: - - scons platform=$PLATFORM [TARGET] - -where `$PLATFORM` may be one of: - -* `suncc`: Sun C++ (Solaris) -* `vacpp`: Visual Age C++ (AIX) -* `mingw` -* `msvc6`: Microsoft Visual Studio 6 service pack 5-6 -* `msvc70`: Microsoft Visual Studio 2002 -* `msvc71`: Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 -* `msvc80`: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -* `msvc90`: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 -* `linux-gcc`: Gnu C++ (linux, also reported to work for Mac OS X) - -If you are building with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, you need to set up the -environment by running `vcvars32.bat` (e.g. MSVC 2008 command prompt) before -running SCons. - -## 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 - -## Running the tests using scons -Note that tests can be run using SCons using the `check` target: - - scons platform=$PLATFORM check - -Building the documentation --------------------------- -Run the Python script `doxybuild.py` from the top directory: - - python doxybuild.py --doxygen=$(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. - -License -------- -See the `LICENSE` file for details.
