Overview

A simple JSON API for parsing and creating JSON data. Pure C++11 implementation with no external dependencies (other than for unit testing).

Implementation

The core classes that constitute the container are the following:

• spt::json::Value Abstract base class that represents the standard JSON data types.
• spt::json::Json Abstract base class that represents a JSON object/array.
• spt::json::io::Handler Interface for callback handlers that are invoked by the spt::json::io::Reader when parsing JSON data.
• spt::json::io::Reader Streaming JSON parser for JSON data from streams/strings.
• spt::json::io::Writer Abstract base class for writing JSON object model to streams/strings.

Note: The spt::json::Value instances are non-copyable and hence cannot be loaded from a DLL on windows. The sources will need to be added directly to the target project on Windows.

Libraries

The only third-party library used is TUT for unit testing.

• C++ Template Unit Test Framework (TUT - BSD licence).
• Qt - required for qmake only.
