JsonCpp roadmap

Makes JsonCpp ready for release

• Build system clean-up:
  • Fix build on Windows (shared-library build is broken)
  • Fix doxygen build issue (discard doxygen dependency check, always rebuild)
  • Add enable/disable flag for static and shared library build
  • Enhance help
  • Test with recent Scons checkpoint
• Platform portability check:
  • linux/gcc,
  • solaris/cc,
  • windows/msvc678,
  • aix/vacpp
• Add JsonCpp version to header as numeric for use in preprocessor test
• Remove buggy experimental hash stuff
• Release on sourceforge download

Clean-up unicode handling

• Ensure reader properly convert and unicode sequence to UTF8
• Ensure writer emit only UTF8 string.
• Provides hook to convert string to/from utf8/other encoding.
  • look into iconv, icu and windows API

Adds a strict mode to reader/parser

Strict JSON support as specific in RFC 4627 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627).

• Enforce only object or array as root element
• Disable comment support

Expose json reader/writer API that do not impose using Json::Value.

Some typical use-case involve an application specific structure to/from a JSON document.

• Performance oriented parser/writer:
  • Provides an event based parser. Should allow pulling & skipping events for ease of use.
  • Provides a JSON document builder: fast only.

Performance tuning

• Provides support for static property name definition avoiding allocation
• Static property dictionnary can be provided to JSON reader
• Performance scenario & benchmarking
