:: WHAT IS IT? :: JOST is a JSON (see http://www.json.org) parser and encoder written using the Spirit, the BOOST LL Parsing Framwork (see www.boost.org). 1 :: COMPILING :: In order to succesfully compile JOST you have to get a working installation of BOOST (>= 1.33.1). Beaware that JOST Makefiles require both the BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR and BOOST_LIB_DIR to be defined. The Makefiles are currently pretty simple and support both Linux as well as MacOS X. To select one or the other type one of the following: $ make osx=1 -or- $ make linux=1 This will build both the JOST library as well as the demo application. :: CONTACT :: For questions, bug fixes, contribution, etc., feel free to contact Angelo Corsaro<angelo.corsaro@gmail.com> :: DEMO :: To familiarize with the JOST APIs take a look at the demo directory. A simple yet useful example is the JSON validator. To play with it do the following: $ cd demo/jsonv $ ./jsonv simple-object.json ------------------------- Parsed JSON Object: {"Key":"Radar-1","T":4,"x":100,"y":75,"z":98} ------------------------- $ ./jsonv complex-object.json ------------------------- Parsed JSON Object: {"attribute":["random","short","bold",12,{"height":7,"width":64}],"count":1234,"name":{"aka":"T.E.S.T.","id":123987},"test":{"1":{"2":{"3":{"coord":[1,2]}}}}} -------------------------
