0._ Series

0.5

The focus of this release is extensible serialization between JSON values and C++ types.

• 0.5.1: 2015 February 17

  • Creates null to be used in place of nullptr
  • Adds the ability to set the default size of tokenizer's buffer
  • Fixes issue in parsing where string divisions on buffer boundaries would yield incorrect results (and potentially crash)

• 0.5.0: 2015 February 13

  • Creates formats, extractor, serializer and adapter classes
  • Creates the extract and to_json free functions for conversion
  • Creates the Serialization Builder DSL for easily making type adapters
  • Adds support for compiling with GCC and Clang on Windows with Cygwin
  • Adds experimental support for Microsoft Visual Studio 14 (CTP 5)
  • Adds the value::is_X convenience functions for checking kind values.

0.4

The focus of this release was the creation of tools to traverse and manipulate the JSON AST.

• 0.4.1: 2015 January 19

  • Adds reverse iteration to array_view and object_view
  • Adds the map algorithm
  • Adds the diff algorithm
  • Adds value::count_path
  • Fixes issue in parsing where large inputs would buffer incorrectly

• 0.4.0: 2015 January 13

  • Creates a generic visitor system for jsonv::value
  • Creates the path system, which is a very simplified version of JSONPath
  • Creates the merge and traverse families of algorithms
  • Creates the coerce library for non-strict conversion
  • Extends array_view and object_view to have owning versions, so calling value::as_array and value::as_object on rvalues works as you would expect (safely)
  • Make kind::decimal and kind::integer equivalent in almost all cases
  • Various bugfixes

0.3

The main focus of this release is access and modification of the low-level parsing and encoding system.

• 0.3.1: 2014 September 27

  • Greatly expands the flexibility of parse_options
  • Adds all the tests from JSON_Checker
  • Adds a parse that takes a string_ref, which unifies the const char* and std::string overloads
  • Changes the installer to put header files inside of a jsonv folder
  • Adds Arch Linux PKGBUILD to the installer folder
  • Fixes issue with incorrectly escaping \\\"
  • Fixes issue with value::compare(const value&) const returning non-zero when two decimal kinds were within the epsilon value (and operator== would have returned true)

• 0.3.0: 2014 September 21

  • Creates tokenizer for easier access to JSON parsing
  • Creates encode for customization of JSON output
  • Creates value::array_view and value::object_view for use in range-based for loops
  • Creates the make install recipe (with customization of versioned SOs)
  • Re-write of the parsing system to be stream-based so not everything has to reside in memory at the same time
  • Expose string_ref as part of the encode and tokenizer systems
  • Improved exception-handling in value
  • Improved documentation, including automatic Doxygen generation with Travis CI

0.2

The main focus of this release was the unification of the JSON type into jsonv::value. Another major addition is full support for parsing and emitting strings into a proper encoding.

• 0.2.2: 2014 May 18

  • Adds std::hash<jsonv::value>

• 0.2.1: 2014 May 9

  • Adds support for building with Clang (version 3.3 and beyond)

• 0.2.0: 2014 May 7

  • Elimination of array and object types in preference of just value
  • Added the ability to specify parsing options
  • Use JSONV_ as the macro prefix everywhere
  • Full support for decoding JSON numeric encodings (\uNNNN) as UTF-8 or CESU-8
  • Various fixes for comparison and assignment

0.1

The original prototype, which allows for parsing input to the JSON AST, manipulation of said AST and eventually encoding it as a string.

• 0.1.1: 2014 April 30

  • Minor parsing performance improvements by batching the string read for parse_number
  • Move to GNU Make as the build system

• 0.1.0: 2014 April 24
