ArduinoJson - C++ JSON library for IoT
====================
*An elegant and efficient JSON library for embedded systems.*
It's designed to have the most intuitive API, the smallest footprint and is able to work without any allocation on the heap (no malloc).
It has been written with Arduino in mind, but it isn't linked to Arduino libraries so you can use this library in any other C++ project.
For instance, it supports Aduino's `String` and `Stream`, but also `std::string`, `std::istream` and `std::ostream`.
Features
--------
* JSON decoding (comments are supported)
* JSON encoding (with optional indentation)
* Elegant API, very easy to use
* Fixed memory allocation (zero malloc)
* No data duplication (zero copy)
* Portable (written in C++98)
* Self-contained (no external dependency)
* Small footprint
* Header-only library
* MIT License
Works on
--------
* Arduino boards: Uno, Due, Mini, Micro, Yun...
* ESP8266, ESP32
* Teensy
* RedBearLab boards (BLE Nano...)
* Intel Edison and Galileo
* WeMos boards: D1...
* Computers: Windows, Linux, OSX...
* PlatformIO
* Particle
* Energia
Quick start
-----------
#### Decoding / Parsing
```c++
char json[] = "{\"sensor\":\"gps\",\"time\":1351824120,\"data\":[48.756080,2.302038]}";
StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;
JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(json);
const char* sensor = root["sensor"];
long time = root["time"];
double latitude = root["data"][0];
double longitude = root["data"][1];
```
[See JsonParserExample.ino](examples/JsonParserExample/JsonParserExample.ino)
Use [ArduinoJson Assistant](https://bblanchon.github.io/ArduinoJson/assistant/) to compute the buffer size.
#### Encoding / Generating
```c++
StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;
JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
root["sensor"] = "gps";
root["time"] = 1351824120;
JsonArray& data = root.createNestedArray("data");
data.add(48.756080);
data.add(2.302038);
root.printTo(Serial);
// This prints:
// {"sensor":"gps","time":1351824120,"data":[48.756080,2.302038]}
```
