Design goals

There are myriads of JSON libraries out there, and each may even have its reason to exist. Our class had these design goals:

• Intuitive syntax. In languages such as Python, JSON feels like a first-class data type. We used all the operator magic of modern C++ to achieve the same feeling in your code. Check out the examples below and you'll know what I mean.

• Trivial integration. Our whole code consists of a single header file json.hpp. That's it. No library, no subproject, no dependencies, no complex build system. The class is written in vanilla C++11. All in all, everything should require no adjustment of your compiler flags or project settings. The library is also included in all popular package managers.
