jemi: a compact JSON serializer for embedded systems
This is quite similar to cJSON, although cJSON leans more towards dynamic memory allocation.

Is there a de facto standard JSON library for C?
If 'de-factoness' (urgh) was measured in GitHub stars, then https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON would win.
- cJSON can't parse strings with a zero character in it, because strings are zero terminated in this api. But doesn't that make it absolutely useless for production? Like, one /0 and my programs crashes/can't parse? Why can't it be escaped?

Luau Goes Open-Source
You often end up with cases where you have to manually call the correct free function for the type you're using, again completely untyped - e.g. if I'm using both sentry and cjson, then my function will ook something like this:

Ask HN: Modern C Libraries
If you want a comfortable developer experience without having to "develop standard functionality," choose another language.
Otherwise: libcurl for the requests, json-c[0] for the JSON handling. SDL for window handling/events/other glue stuff. I don't know what rocksdb is but I assume it has its own C API library.
