Summary

This release introduces a means to convert from/to user-defined types. The release is backwards compatible.

conversion

Changes

  • ✨ The library now offers an elegant way to convert from and to arbitrary value types. All you need to do is to implement two functions: to_json and from_json. Then, a conversion is as simple as putting a = between variables. See the README for more information and examples.
  • ✨ Exceptions can now be switched off. This can be done by defining the preprocessor symbol JSON_NOEXCEPTION or by passing -fno-exceptions to your compiler. In case the code would usually thrown an exception, abort() is now called.
  • ✨ Information on the library can be queried with the new (static) function meta() which returns a JSON object with information on the version, compiler, and platform. See the documentation for an example.
  • 🐛 A bug in the CBOR parser was fixed which led to a buffer overflow.
  • ✨ The function type_name() is now public. It allows to query the type of a JSON value as string.
  • ✅ Added the Big List of Naughty Strings as test case.
  • ⬆️ Updated to Catch v1.6.0.
  • 📝 Some typos in the documentation have been fixed.
