News

LitJSON 0.5.0
Oct 04, 2007: A new version of LitJSON has been released today, including mainly bug fixes. You may get it following the links in the download area. [release notes]

Thanks to everyone who reported problems and made suggestions for making this release possible.

As a side note, and regarding the progress of the documentation, unfortunately it hasn't been easy to work on this piece of the library as much as originally planned. However, completing the manual is the top priority at the moment and hopefully good news will be posted soon. Thank you for your patience.
Source Repository Online
Sep 04, 2007: The library's repository is publicly available; this means the code can be browsed on the web now, and that those interested in tracking the latest changes to the code base, can do so checking out a working copy of the repository. For more information, see the downloads section.

On other news, work is currently being done on the documentation of the library. A new release of LitJSON, featuring the complete API reference and some bug fixes is planned for later this week.
LitJSON 0.3.0
Aug 15, 2007: Version 0.3.0 is available [release notes].
First LitJSON Release
Aug 09, 2007: The first public release of LitJSON, version 0.1.0 is now available for download. Although the API is not considered frozen (some minor additions and changes may occur), it is pretty much complete and ready for testing.

Download

File releases are available from the project's development website, hosted by SourceForge.

Source Repository - Git

Development of LitJSON is made using the Git version control system.

Check out command:	`git-clone git://repo.or.cz/litjson.git litjson`
Web Interface:	http://repo.or.cz/w/litjson.git

Source Repository - Subversion

For convenience, a Subversion mirror of the repository is also maintained. Notice, however, that this alternative has some limitations: it doesn't have the integral history of the code and it only mirrors the master branch of the original repository. It is recommended that contributors use Git to track the code if possible.

Check out command:	`svn co https://litjson.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/litjson/trunk litjson`
Web Interface:	http://litjson.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/litjson/trunk/

Documentation

A manual is available and is distributed with the file releases. You can also read it online.

Contributing

For reporting bugs, submitting patches and requesting features, you may use the tracker system.

For general questions, comments, etc., you may post to the project's forum.

All contributions to the project are welcome. If you want to submit code, please read the HACKING file included in the package sources.

Any help in any area would be very appreciated; these are just a few ideas:

Providing the necessary magic to allow LitJSON to be compiled with Microsoft's .Net tools. So far it only has been built and tested on a GNU/Linux system, using the Mono framework.
Suggestions to improve/extend the API.
New benchmark results, particularly using Microsoft's runtime. A set of benchmarks is included with the sources, but so far they have only been run using the Mono runtime.
Adding new unit tests, or improving the ones currently implemented.

Thanks for stopping by.
