[news 28]

hi everyone;

 

JSON-GLib 0.7.4 is now available for download at:

 

http://download.gnome.org/sources/json-glib/0.7/

 

SHA1 checksums:

 

json-glib-0.7.4.tar.bz2:

this is the second developers snapshot of the JSON-GLib library leading

to the stable 0.8 cycle, and the first release candidate for 0.8.0; if

everything goes according to plan, 0.8.0 will be exactly like 0.7.4.

 

JSON-GLib is a library providing serialization and deserialization

support for the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format described by

RFC 4627. JSON is:

 

a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read

and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based

on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262

3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely

language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to

programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java,

JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON

an ideal data-interchange language. -- From Introducing JSON

 

Many high-level languages already provide native modules for parsing,

generating and manipulating JSON data streams. JSON-GLib is a C library

based on GLib and released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General

Public License version 2.1. It provides a parser and a generator GObject

classes and various wrappers for the complex data types employed by

JSON, such as arrays and objects.

 

JSON-GLib uses GLib native data types and the generic value container

GValue for ease of development. It also provides integration with the

GObject classes for direct serialization into, and deserialization from,

JSON data streams.

 

JSON-GLib currently requires:

 

* GLib 2.16.0, or higher

 

Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.openedhand.com in the

json-glib product.

 

JSON-GLib is available in GNOME Git:
