Yet Another JSON Library (YAJL)
Yet Another JSON Library (YAJL)
http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/
Why does the world need another C library for parsing JSON? Good question. In a review of current C JSON parsing libraries I was unable to find one that satisfies my requirements. Those are:
- 0. written in C
- 1. portable
- 2. robust -- as close to "crash proof" as possible
- 3. data representation independent
- 4. fast
- 5. generates verbose, useful error messages including context of where the error occurs in the input text.
- 6. can parse JSON data off a stream, incrementally
- 7. simple to use
- 8. tiny
- Numbers 3, 5, 6, and 7 where particularly hard to find, and were what caused me to ultimately create YAJL.
