cpp2json

Single statement JSON creation

Welcome to the Wonderful World of JSON encoding

“cpp2json” is a single “.h” file that allows creation of JSON data using standard C++ operator overloading.

Supported data types: int, double, string, vector<int>, vector<double>, vector<string>.

Syntax is similar to JSON with keywords instead of symbols.

Replace:
“[” with JARRBEG
“]” with JARREND
“{“ with JOBJBEG
“}” with JOBJEND

Example

    JBASE_t blob = (JARRBEG, 1U<<31, 1.7, v, JARREND); // json blobs

    std::cout << (JOBJBEG,

        "first", JOBJBEG,
	    "number", i,
	    "vector", JARRBEG, 1U << 31, "AB\"CD\007EF", v, JARREND, // arrays with mixed types
        JOBJEND,
        "second", JOBJBEG,
            "float", d,
	    "blob", blob,
        JOBJEND,

    JOBJEND).toString() << "\n";

Building

No need for autotools when building, Makefile.am is a regular makefile.
Invoke with make -f Makefile.am example.

Autotools is used for its maintainer and distribution benefits.

If you like to build with autotools:

    ./autogen.sh    # optionally if autotools are not setup
    ./configure     # simple configure
    make            # 😊
