A pure C parsing and serialization library for the DSON data serialization format, for humans. cdson is believed to have complete spec coverage, though as with any project, there may still be bugs.
If you're running Fedora, RHEL with EPEL enabled, or a rebuild thereof, rejoice: cdson is available in your distro:
dnf install libcdson-devel
Otherwise, keep reading for instructions to build from source.
mkdir build
cd build
meson ..
ninja
meson test # optional
sudo meson install
#include <cdson.h>
and build with however your buildsystem integrates pkg-config output as usual.
Further documentation is inline in cdson.h.
PRs welcome! Test suite must pass, and more tests are welcome too.
