Open Source C JSON Software

The gSOAP toolkit is an extensive suite of portable C and C++ software to develop XML Web services with powerful type-safe XML data bindings. Easy-to-use code-generator tools allow you to directly integrate XML data in C and C++. Serializes native application data in XML. Includes WSDL/XSD schema binding and auto-coding tools, stub/skeleton compiler, Web server integration with Apache module and IIS extension, high-performance XML processing with schema validation, fast MIME/MTOM streaming, SOAP and REST Web API development, WS-* protocols (WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, etc), XML-RPC and JSON. Licensed under GPLv2.

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice, filter, map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text. jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies. You can download a single binary, scp it to a far away machine of the same type, and expect it to work. jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you'd expect. Data in jq is represented as streams of JSON values - every jq expression runs for each value in its input stream, and can produce any number of values to its output stream. jq filters run on a stream of JSON data. The input to jq is parsed as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON values which are passed through the provided filter one at a time. The output(s) of the filter are written to standard out, again as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON data.

Jansson is a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data.

flatcc has no external dependencies except for build and compiler tools, and the C runtime library. With concurrent Ninja builds, a small client project can build flatcc with libraries, generate schema code, link the project and execute a test case in a few seconds, produce binaries between 15K and 60K, read small buffers in 30ns, build FlatBuffers in about 600ns, and with a larger executable also handle optional json parsing or printing in less than 2 us for a 10 field mixed type message. The JSON parser may change the interface for parsing union vectors in a future release which requires code generation to match library versions. This project builds flatcc, a compiler that generates FlatBuffers code for C given a FlatBuffer schema file. This introduction also creates a separate test project with the traditional monster example, here in a C version. The setup script builds flatcc using CMake, then creates a test project directory with the monster example.

An ultra-lightweight, portable, single-file, simple-as-can-be ANSI-C compliant JSON parser, under MIT license. Moved to https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON

A high-performance JSON library written in ANSI C.

HTTP Framework for REST Applications in C. Based on GNU libmicrohttpd for the backend web server, Jansson for the json manipulation library, and Libcurl for the SMTP client API. Used to facilitate the creation of web applications in C programs with a small memory footprint, as in embedded systems applications. You can create web services in HTTP or HTTPS mode, stream data, or implement server web sockets.

UltraJSON is an ultra-fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 3.7+. May be used as a drop-in replacement for most other JSON parsers for Python. Used to enable special encoding of "unsafe" HTML characters into safer Unicode sequences. Limits output to ASCII and escapes all extended characters above 127. Default is True. If your end format supports UTF-8, setting this option to false is highly recommended to save space. By default, debugging symbols are stripped on Linux platforms. Setting this environment variable with a value of 1 or True disables this behavior. Users planning to link against an external shared library should be aware of the ABI-compatibility requirements this introduces when upgrading system libraries or copying compiled wheels to other machines.
