RapidJSON VS PicoJSON

Here's what I did: - I bought a theme that I liked, and used mstch as template engine (matched the theme's template format) - Imported rapidjson for parsing JSON, and used mstch for generating JSON (the JSON I generate is simple enough that I can do this) - Wrote an HTTP handler class for each page that handles the GET and POST requests, generating HTML or JSON depending on the request

And documentation in most cases is more user-friendly if you will use something like MkDocs(based on Markdown), example http://rapidjson.org/

Use RapidJSON https://rapidjson.org/

It seems not super widely used compared to other famous libraries like RapidJSON, nlohmann-json, or simdjson. But it seems the author is very active in developing this project which can mitigate this "lack of community" issue.

have a look at rapidjson for a a nice simple json framework https://rapidjson.org/ I use it and it's quite fast and as good as anything I used in python.

So I just cloned https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson to see what is the current status. At compile time they check if the C++ compiler supports the "noexcept" keyword, and if so they define RAPIDJSON_NOEXCEPT to be "noexcept". Throughout the implementation, RAPIDJSON_NOEXCEPT is added to quite a few function declarations (about a hundred of them).

RapidJSON is also excellent, like fantastic when performance matters. Not sure there's a much faster JSON implementation anywhere, and I've written my own SAX-style parser as a fun, hobby project for C++.

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.
