This "extension" to cmake is a script that will load a Json file and add it's variable in cmake. It offers helper "functions" to navigate the "cmakefied" json. It requires a C++ compiler has the code use an try_compile command to read the json and generate a .cmake with all the variable. The parser is build in plain C++ with only picojson.h has a dependency. PicoJson is included with the C++ file and it's license has been appended to the license file.
To use the script in your application, you must copy JsonParsing.cmake and JsonParsing folder to your project. It is recommended to use a CMake folder in your project, and appending the path to that folder to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH variable. Thus you can place the file and the folder in that directory.
##Example There is a exemple in the folder sample. You will need cmake and a build tool for it to work. The detail on building is present the the readme of the folder.
