JSON decoding, encoding, and manipulation library for C. Single header file and single file of C.
This library revolves around the JSON struct type with the following members
and properties:
-
JSON object type:
type, which are defined by the enumJSONType.
e.g.JSONArrayandJSONObject. -
Pointer to linked list of children:
child, this is used by array and object type JSON objects to store their members (list of values and name:value pairs respectively). -
JSONstruct is its own linked list node type, containing pointers to previous:prev, and next:next, elements of list (of parent's children). Root JSON objects have aprevandnextofNULL. -
Union of data types used to store the different possible JSON object data types. e.g.
JSONBoolusesboolval,JSONNumberusesnumber, andJSONStringusesstring.
It is undefined behaviour to reference data type members not used by the given JSON object type. e.g. Referencing thenumberof aJSONBool.
