A good C library to parse json data
I'm a fan of jansson easy to use and great documentation

jemi: a compact JSON serializer for embedded systems
Context: I needed to emit rather complex compound JSON data for a C-based project I'm working on. I could do it all with sprintf(), but it got messy quickly. I looked at available libraries such as jansson and CCAN's json, but they both used malloc(), which isn't an option in my case.

Good json libraries?
JanSON has been really good for my uses. Simple, intuitive, fast.

I don't see why something like Jansson wouldn't.

a quick google search is always easier than a whole reddit post cJSON

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:

What are some alternatives?
When comparing Jansson and cJSON you can also consider the following projects:
