DiligentEngine VS json_test_data

Neither Apple nor Microsoft want any usable multiplatform graphics API. For this reason, none of them delivers such a thing.

If you want a multiplatform graphics API, you should use a library which implements such API on top of these native OS-specific APIs.

I have good experience with that one: http://diligentgraphics.com/diligent-engine/ I’ve used it couple times on Windows with D3D12 backend, and on Linux with GLES 3.1 backend.

Diligent Engine: They say their engine is the successor of bgfx, but I'm not rly into that topic.

Diligent Engine. A Modern Cross-Platform Low-Level 3D Graphics Library and Rendering Framework Tweet.

Read other people's code (I recommend modern small to medium sized github projects, because large ones can be overwhelming) or else you will forever stay in your bubble of how things are done. For example, I had learned a thing or two by using (and code browsing) diligent engine's source.

I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

>Maybe take a shot at parsing JSON in C++ and see if the nostalgia survives the process.

I have used this library in the past and was actually pretty easy

https://github.com/nlohmann/json

I used this for JSON last time I wrote any C++ a few years ago and it still seems popular. It seemed sane enough to me.

On the other hand, I'd like to bring in the json library of my choice, e.g. https://github.com/nlohmann/json or https://github.com/danielaparker/jsoncons. So I'd prefer the web server library provides as little as possible in the way of Json support, and certainly doesn't get in the way of using my library of choice. Similarly, I'd like to use my choice of automatic object serialization.

I find openMVG very decent, FTXUI might be a good one and nlohmann's json library is also pretty nice. I don't really know of any project that strictly adheres to the core guidelines, except maybe for some of Jason Turner's (sample) projects.

JSON for Modern C++. Intuitive syntax. Trivial integration. Serious testing. Memory efficiency. Speed.

Please provide us an example of this one minute process you talk about for an example project of opening a JSON file, writing to it and closing it with a library like `nlohmann`s.

Use a small library like this: https://github.com/nlohmann/json

I worked on my partner’s static site generator, rwar, to implement this feature and she worked on my static site generator – palpatine. I was easily able to do this in rwar which is written in Python. However, I realized that this feature was much harder to implement on palpatine which is written in C++. Samina reached out multiple times seeking help for the broken Cmake configurations and for helping in integrating the nlohmann/json library.
