ArduinoJson is a C++ JSON library for Arduino and IoT (Internet Of Things).
## Features
* JSON decoding (comments are supported)
* JSON encoding (with optional indentation)
* Elegant API, easy to use
* Fixed memory allocation (zero malloc)
* No data duplication (zero copy)
* Portable (written in C++98, can be used in any C++ project)
* Self-contained (no external dependency)
* Small footprint
* Input and output streams
* [100% code coverage](https://coveralls.io/github/bblanchon/ArduinoJson)
* [Header-only library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Header-only)
* [MIT License](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License)
* [Comprehensive documentation](https://arduinojson.org?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme)

## Quickstart
### Deserialization
Here is a program that parses a JSON document with ArduinoJson.
```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 the [tutorial on arduinojson.org](https://arduinojson.org/doc/decoding/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme)
### Serialization
Here is a program that generates a JSON document with ArduinoJson:
```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]}
```
