JSON for Modern C++ 3.9.0 release has been announced for general availability and is now available with long-awaited features.
JSON for Modern C++ is a library written is vanilla C++ 11 designed to feel and behave like a first-class citizen of the language.
This JSON tool adds four long-awaited features, some of which were requested five years ago. These are:
- The parser functions have now an option to ignore // and /* */ style comments even though comments are not officially part of the JSON specification.
- Preservation of the insertion order of object keys through the new type nlohmann::ordered_json as a drop-in replacement for nlohmann::json.
- Implicit conversions can now be switched off with a CMake or preprocessor option to prevent unexpected behavior.
- The mapping between user-defined types and JSON can now be expressed using convenience macros by just listing the names of the member variables to read/write.
Other highlights in this JSON library include added high-precision number support for UBJSON for integers larger than 9223372036854775807 (LLONG_MAX). The code now compiles with Clang on Windows.
