`json-c` {#mainpage}
========
JSON-C - A JSON implementation in C
-----------------------------------
Build Status
* [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/hawicz/json-c)
* [](https://travis-ci.org/json-c/json-c)
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.
It aims to conform to [RFC 7159](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159).
Building on Unix with `git`, `gcc` and `autotools`
--------------------------------------------------
Home page for json-c: https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki
### Prerequisites:
See also the "Installing prerequisites" section below.
- `gcc`, `clang`, or another C compiler
- `libtool>=2.2.6b`
If you're not using a release tarball, you'll also need:
- `autoconf>=2.64` (`autoreconf`)
- `automake>=1.10.3`
Make sure you have a complete `libtool` install, including `libtoolize`.
### Build instructions:
`json-c` GitHub repo: https://github.com/json-c/json-c
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/json-c/json-c.git
$ cd json-c
$ sh autogen.sh
```
followed by
```sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
```
To build and run the test programs:
```sh
$ make check
```
Linking to `libjson-c`
----------------------
If your system has `pkgconfig`,
then you can just add this to your `makefile`:
```make
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags json-c)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs json-c)
```
Without `pkgconfig`, you would do something like this:
```make
JSON_C_DIR=/path/to/json_c/install
CFLAGS += -I$(JSON_C_DIR)/include/json-c
LDFLAGS+= -L$(JSON_C_DIR)/lib -ljson-c
```
Install prerequisites
-----------------------
If you are on a relatively modern system, you'll likely be able to install
the prerequisites using your OS's packaging system.
### Install using apt (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS)
```sh
sudo apt install git
sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool
sudo apt install valgrind # optional
```
Then start from the "git clone" command, above.
### Manually install and build autoconf, automake and libtool
For older OS's that don't have up-to-date version of the packages will
require a bit more work. For example, CentOS release 5.11, etc...
```sh
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6b.tar.gz
tar xzf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar xzf automake-1.15.tar.gz
tar xzf libtool-2.2.6b.tar.gz
export PATH=${HOME}/ac_install/bin:$PATH
(cd autoconf-2.69 && \
./configure --prefix ${HOME}/ac_install && \
make && \
make install)
(cd automake-1.15 && \
./configure --prefix ${HOME}/ac_install && \
make && \
make install)
(cd libtool-2.2.6b && \
./configure --prefix ${HOME}/ac_install && \
make && \
make install)
```
