ArduinoJson VS Arduino

I'm using the library ArduinoJson to storage arts in the ESP8266 memory at JSON format. But, i'm have difficult to storage more than 4 drawings, possibly because i don't know how scale, optimize and manager the memory space.

I've logged a github issue, but I'm not convinced I've asked the right questions as I've never had to do anything like this before - am I missing something obvious?

Also, if you want a nice way to encapsulate data, look at ArduinoJson (https://arduinojson.org/). All your information can be stored as easily identifiable strings in a JSON format. I use it all the time and it removes a lot of the mucking about with figuring out how to parse your data to/from file.

The format is simple JSON data and self explanatory, no binary coding, just simple text, which you can decode using https://arduinojson.org/.

The result is that the WiFiSecureClient doesn't work when used in the bot declaration, so I changed the variable to WiFiClient but I can't use the certificate, so I comment it out and ESP8266.h gives me a thousand errors due to lack of dependencies in its libraries. I should point out that I downloaded the entire project from the Arduino ESP8266, I don't know how to link all the libraries, so I simply took those from the ESP8266WiFi.

He meant the Arduino framework. There is an Arduino core for the ESP8266 so you can use Arduino’s IDE and libraries for the ESP with this core here

According to this link(https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/6174) WeMos can't receive broadcasts on SDK 2.2.1.

There are 2 ways to minimize power consumption while maintaining an active WiFi connection, but it's not a large power reduction for either mode. Look at Automatic Modem Sleep and Automatic Light Sleep here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/esp8266/examples/LowPowerDemo

That's the Arduino (Uno) library. If you've correctly installed the ESP8266 package then it should be 3.(something-ish) for the ESP8266 version of the WiFi library. Current is 3.1.1 for the core files, and the WiFi is part of the core libraries. If you have your compile options set for verbose then you should see it doesn't access that old Arduino WiFi library.

Seems it's expected https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/721
