* 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, and 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 (http://www.scons.org) as a build system. Scons requires
python to be installed (http://www.python.org).
You download scons-local distribution from the following url:
http://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
linux-gcc Gnu C++ (linux, also reported to work for Mac OS X)
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.
doc: build documentation
doc-dist: build documentation tarball
