Project Summary
Rapidjson is a JSON parser and generator for C++. It was inspired by rapidxml.
* Rapidjson is small but complete. It supports both SAX and DOM style API. The SAX parser is only a half thousand lines of code.
* Rapidjson is fast. Its performance can be comparable to strlen(). It also optionally supports SSE2/SSE4.1 for acceleration.
* Rapidjson is self-contained. It does not depend on external libraries such as BOOST. It even does not depend on STL.
* Rapidjson is memory friendly. Each JSON value occupies exactly 16/20 bytes for most 32/64-bit machines (excluding text string). By default it uses a fast memory allocator, and the parser allocates memory compactly during parsing.
