I remember searching for a JSON library with minimal dependencies a while ago, and came across this: https://rawgit.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark/master/sampl... The variance in feature set, design and performance is huge across all of them. I ultimately landed on libjson, written in C: https://github.com/vincenthz/libjson It does a lot for you, but it notably does not build a tree for you and does not try to interpret numbers, which I found perfect for adding to languages with C FFI that have their own collection and number types. It’s also great for partial parsing if you need to do any sort of streaming. It looks like this one can’t currently do partial parsing, but it looks great if C++ maps/vectors are your target.
