Table of Contents Prerequisites Usage Examples Contributing License Prerequisites To use this library, you need:
A C compiler (e.g., GCC) Basic knowledge of C programming Usage Clone the repository:
shell Copy code git clone https://github.com/yourusername/json-parser.git Include the necessary header files in your C code:
Copy code #include "json.h" Compile your C program with the library source files:
shell Copy code gcc your_program.c json.c -o your_program Use the functions provided in json.c to parse and manipulate JSON data.
Examples Here's a simple example of how to use this library to parse a JSON file and access its elements in your C code:
c Copy code #include "json.h"
int main() { Element root_element; const char *filename = "example.json";
if (read_json(filename, &root_element)) {
// JSON parsing successful
// Access and manipulate JSON elements using the 'root_element' object
// For example:
// Element *value = get_element(root_element.as_object, "key");
// Access the value as value->as_int or value->as_string, etc.
} else {
// JSON parsing failed
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to parse JSON from %s\n", filename);
}
return 0;
