The JSON-C implements a reference counting object model that allows you to easily construct JSON objects in C, output them as JSON formatted strings and parse JSON formatted strings back into the C representation of JSON objects.

Doxygen-1.15.0 and Graphviz-14.0.2 (for dot tool)
First, fix building this package with CMake-4.0:
sed -i 's/VERSION 2.8/VERSION 4.0/' apps/CMakeLists.txt && sed -i 's/VERSION 3.9/VERSION 4.0/' tests/CMakeLists.txt
Install JSON-C by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF \
.. &&
make
If you have installed Doxygen-1.15.0 and Graphviz-14.0.2, you can build the documentation by running the following command:
doxygen doc/Doxyfile
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you built the documentation, install it by running the following
commands as the root user:
install -d -vm755 /usr/share/doc/json-c-0.18 && install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/json-c-0.18
-D
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply
a higher level of compiler optimizations.
