Here's how it works now: - - * isInt, isInt64, isUInt, and isUInt64 return true if and only if the - value can be exactly represented as that type. In particular, a value - constructed with a double like 17.0 will now return true for all of - these methods. - - * isDouble and isFloat now return true for all numeric values, since all - numeric values can be converted to a double or float without - truncation. Note however that the conversion may not be exact -- for - example, doubles cannot exactly represent all integers above 2^53 + 1. - - * isBool, isNull, isString, isArray, and isObject now return true if and - only if the value is of that type. - - * isConvertibleTo(fooValue) indicates that it is safe to call asFoo. - (For each type foo, isFoo always implies isConvertibleTo(fooValue).) - asFoo returns an approximate or exact representation as appropriate. - For example, a double value may be truncated when asInt is called. - - * For backwards compatibility with old code, isConvertibleTo(intValue) - may return false even if type() == intValue. This is because the value - may have been constructed with a 64-bit integer larger than maxInt, - and calling asInt() would cause an exception. If you're writing new - code, use isInt64 to find out whether the value is exactly - representable using an Int64, or asDouble() combined with minInt64 and - maxInt64 to figure out whether it is approximately representable. - -* Value - - Patch #10: BOOST_FOREACH compatibility. Made Json::iterator more - standard compliant, added missing iterator_category and value_type - typedefs (contribued by Robert A. Iannucci). - -* Compilation - - - New CMake based build system. Based in part on contribution from - Igor Okulist and Damien Buhl (Patch #14). - - - New header json/version.h now contains version number macros - (JSONCPP_VERSION_MAJOR, JSONCPP_VERSION_MINOR, JSONCPP_VERSION_PATCH - and JSONCPP_VERSION_HEXA). - - - Patch #11: added missing JSON_API on some classes causing link issues - when building as a dynamic library on Windows - (contributed by Francis Bolduc). - - - Visual Studio DLL: suppressed warning "C4251: <data member>: <type> - needs to have dll-interface to be used by..." via pragma push/pop - in json-cpp headers. - - - Added Travis CI intregration: https://travis-ci.org/blep/jsoncpp-mirror - -* Bug fixes - - Patch #15: Copy constructor does not initialize allocated_ for stringValue - (contributed by rmongia). - - - Patch #16: Missing field copy in Json::Value::iterator causing infinite - loop when using experimental internal map (#define JSON_VALUE_USE_INTERNAL_MAP) - (contributed by Ming-Lin Kao). - - - New in JsonCpp 0.6.0: - --------------------- - -* Compilation - - - LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables are now - propagated to the build environment as this is required for some - compiler installation. - - - Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (bug #2930462): - The platform "msvc90" has been added. - - Notes: you need to setup the environment by running vcvars32.bat - (e.g. MSVC 2008 command prompt in start menu) before running scons. - - - Added support for amalgamated source and header generation (a la sqlite). - Refer to README.md section "Generating amalgamated source and header" - for detail. - -* Value - - - Removed experimental ValueAllocator, it caused static - initialization/destruction order issues (bug #2934500). - The DefaultValueAllocator has been inlined in code. - - - Added support for 64 bits integer: - - Types Json::Int64 and Json::UInt64 have been added. They are aliased - to 64 bits integers on system that support them (based on __int64 on - Microsoft Visual Studio platform, and long long on other platforms). - - Types Json::LargestInt and Json::LargestUInt have been added. They are - aliased to the largest integer type supported: - either Json::Int/Json::UInt or Json::Int64/Json::UInt64 respectively. - - Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() still returns plain - "int" based types, but asserts if an attempt is made to retrieve - a 64 bits value that can not represented as the return type. - - Json::Value::asInt64() and Json::Value::asUInt64() have been added - to obtain the 64 bits integer value. - - Json::Value::asLargestInt() and Json::Value::asLargestUInt() returns - the integer as a LargestInt/LargestUInt respectively. Those functions - functions are typically used when implementing writer. - - The reader attempts to read number as 64 bits integer, and fall back - to reading a double if the number is not in the range of 64 bits - integer. - - Warning: Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() now returns - long long. This changes break code that was passing the return value - to *printf() function. - - Support for 64 bits integer can be disabled by defining the macro - JSON_NO_INT64 (uncomment it in json/config.h for example), though - it should have no impact on existing usage. - - - The type Json::ArrayIndex is used for indexes of a JSON value array. It - is an unsigned int (typically 32 bits). - - - Array index can be passed as int to operator[], allowing use of literal: - Json::Value array; - array.append( 1234 ); - int value = array[0].asInt(); // did not compile previously - - - Added float Json::Value::asFloat() to obtain a floating point value as a - float (avoid lost of precision warning caused by used of asDouble() - to initialize a float). - -* Reader - - - Renamed Reader::getFormatedErrorMessages() to getFormattedErrorMessages. - Bug #3023708 (Formatted has 2 't'). The old member function is deprecated - but still present for backward compatibility. - -* Tests - - - Added test to ensure that the escape sequence "\/" is corrected handled - by the parser. - -* Bug fixes - - - Bug #3139677: JSON [1 2 3] was incorrectly parsed as [1, 3]. Error is now - correctly detected. - - - Bug #3139678: stack buffer overflow when parsing a double with a - length of 32 characters. - - - Fixed Value::operator <= implementation (had the semantic of operator >=). - Found when adding unit tests for comparison operators. - - - Value::compare() is now const and has an actual implementation with - unit tests. - - - Bug #2407932: strpbrk() can fail for NULL pointer. - - - Bug #3306345: Fixed minor typo in Path::resolve(). - - - Bug #3314841/#3306896: errors in amalgamate.py - - - Fixed some Coverity warnings and line-endings. - -* License - - - See file LICENSE for details. Basically JsonCpp is now licensed under - MIT license, or public domain if desired and recognized in your jurisdiction. - Thanks to Stephan G. Beal [http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/]) who - helped figuring out the solution to the public domain issue. |
