Re: [boost] [review][JSON] Review of JSON starts today: Sept 14 - Sept 23

Formal review of JSON has ended officially now. I would take a couple of days to compile and declare the results. Thank you very much to everyone who has invested time to review this library. On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 9:37 PM Pranam Lashkari wrote:

Again I request everyone to spare some time to review this library. Last day to submit the official review would be on the 23rd of September. There is no way this review would be extended as there are other reviews aligned so please submit the review as soon as possible. Every review is really important to boost.

Thank you very much for your time in advance.

Boost formal review of Vinnie Falco and Krystian Stasiowski's library JSON starts today and will run for 10 days ending on 23 Sept 2020. Both of these authors have already developed a couple of libraries which are accepted in Boost(boost beast and Static String)

This library focuses on a common and popular use-case for JSON. It provides a container to hold parsed and serialised JSON types. It provides more flexibility and better benchmark performance than its competitors.

JSON highlights the following features in the documentation:

- Fast compilation - Require only C++11 - Fast streaming parser and serializer - Easy and safe API with allocator support - Constant-time key lookup for objects - Options to allow non-standard JSON - Compile without Boost, define BOOST_JSON_STANDALONE - Optional header-only, without linking to a library

(a point I would like to add in highlight: it has cool Jason logo 😝)

To quickly understand and get the flavour of the library take a look at "Quick Look" http://master.json.cpp.al/json/usage/quick_look.html

You can find the source code to be reviewed here: https://github.com/CPPAlliance/json/tree/master

You can find the latest documentation here: http://master.json.cpp.al/

Benchmarks are also given in the document which can be found here: http://master.json.cpp.al/json/benchmarks.html

Some people have also given the early reviews, the thread can be found here: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/09/249745.php

Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including JSON as a Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT).

Some other questions you might want to consider answering:

- What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With which compiler(s)? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

Thank you for your effort in the Boost community.
