PicoJSON VS json_test_data

I've used picojson. What makes it pretty awesome is it's completely contained into a single H file.

Especially if the library is even slower than smaller alternatives like [1].

But that's just my personal opinion, I understand that other people have different priorities and are fine with including 785kb of C++ template headers s long as public interface suits their needs and taste.

This is just an example for the kind of freedom software allows for, because it doesn't cost you anything and there is no objectively "better" in this case.

I like pico json because it is a self-contained in a header file.

>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

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.

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.
