# JsonCpp [](https://bintray.com/theirix/conan-repo/jsoncpp%3Atheirix) [](https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp/blob/master/LICENSE) [](http://open-source-parsers.github.io/jsoncpp-docs/doxygen/index.html) [](https://coveralls.io/github/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp?branch=master) [JSON][json-org] is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent numbers, strings, ordered sequences of values, and collections of name/value pairs. [json-org]: http://json.org/ JsonCpp is a C++ library that allows manipulating JSON values, including serialization and deserialization to and from strings. It can also preserve existing comment in unserialization/serialization steps, making it a convenient format to store user input files. ## Documentation [JsonCpp documentation][JsonCpp-documentation] is generated using [Doxygen][]. [JsonCpp-documentation]: http://open-source-parsers.github.io/jsoncpp-docs/doxygen/index.html [Doxygen]: http://www.doxygen.org ## A note on backward-compatibility * `1.y.z` is built with C++11. * `0.y.z` can be used with older compilers. * `00.11.z` can be used both in old and new compilers. * Major versions maintain binary-compatibility. ### Special note The branch `00.11.z`is a new branch, its major version number `00` is to show that it is different from `0.y.z` and `1.y.z`, the main purpose of this branch is to make a balance between the other two branches. Thus, users can use some new features in this new branch that introduced in 1.y.z, but can hardly applied into 0.y.z. ## Using JsonCpp in your project ### The vcpkg dependency manager You can download and install JsonCpp using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager: git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git cd vcpkg ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh ./vcpkg integrate install ./vcpkg install jsoncpp The JsonCpp port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors.
