json_test_data VS webminidisc

>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

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.

If it has the NetMD feature you can do so in a web browser now: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc

The code demonstrates how with the support of a browser, a combination of different web APIs, including WASM (for audio encoding) can be used to give new life to old technology. Also is an online version of the application that can be used immediately and a video demonstrating how to use it.

It is also worth noting that web minidisc also has Japanese text support and is way easier to use (plus gives better quality SP). Check out the FAQ on how to get it working.

In case you did not notice, Stefano released zipped offline version of Web MiniDIsc. (with and without google analytics)

Some Japanese players and remotes (models ending with 'K') have high resolution displays capable of displaying Hiragana and Kanji alphabets. Such devices will try to read the titles from the full-width slot first, then fall back to the half-width slot if the full-width one is empty. Devices with low resolution display will only show the title from the half-width slot. More about this here: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc/pull/49 and here https://www.reddit.com/r/minidisc/comments/nzzckj/minidisc_kanji_support/

Slightly off topic, but if you have a NetMD device for your MiniDiscs, you could use Stefano Brilli's Web MiniDisc https://stefano.brilli.me/webminidisc/ to transfer the AAC files directly to MD. This would remove the need for optical-out and Audacity. Software details here: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc
