* Introduction: ============= JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent integer, real number, string, an ordered sequence of value, and a collection of name/value pairs. JsonCpp is a simple API to manipulate JSON value, handle serialization and unserialization to string. It can also preserve existing comment in unserialization/serialization steps, making it a convenient format to store user input files. Unserialization parsing is user friendly and provides precise error reports. * Building/Testing: ================= JsonCpp uses Scons (https://www.scons.org) as a build system. Scons requires python to be installed (https://www.python.org). You download scons-local distribution from the following url: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30337&package_id=67375 Unzip it in the directory where you found this README file. scons.py Should be at the same level as README. python scons.py platform=PLTFRM [TARGET] where PLTFRM 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) Notes: If you are building with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, you need to setup the environment by running vcvars32.bat (e.g. MSVC 2008 command prompt) before running scons. You can also build from Qt using the json-cpp.pro. Adding platform is fairly simple. You need to change the Sconstruct file to do so. and TARGET may be: check: build library and run unit tests. * Running the test manually: ========================== cd test # This will run the Reader/Writer tests python runjsontests.py "path to jsontest.exe" # This will run the Reader/Writer tests, using JSONChecker test suite # (https://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.exe" # This will run the unit tests (mostly Value) python rununittests.py "path to test_lib_json.exe" You can run the tests using valgrind: python rununittests.py --valgrind "path to test_lib_json.exe" * Building the documentation: =========================== Run the python script doxybuild.py from the top directory: python doxybuild.py --open --with-dot See doxybuild.py --help for options. Notes that the documentation is also available for download as a tarball. The documentation of the latest release is available online at: https://jsoncpp.sourceforge.net/ * 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. TESTNAME.expected file format: - 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 (e.g. represented by either [] or {}). - element path: '.' represented 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 test_complex_01.json and test_complex_01.expected to better understand element path. * Understanding reader/writer test output: ======================================== When a test is run, output files are generated aside 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.exe from reading test_complex_01.json - test_complex_01.rewrite: JSON document written by jsontest.exe 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.exe from reading test_complex_01.rewrite. test_complex_01.process-output: jsontest.exe output, typically useful to understand parsing error. * License ======= See file LICENSE for details.
