[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
Very soon, we are switching to C++11 only. For older compilers, try the `pre-C++11` branch.
* `1.y.z` is built with C++11.
* `0.8.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 build
the amalgamated source (a single `.cpp` file) with your own build system. This
ensures consistency of compilation flags and ABI compatibility. See the section

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
