MinGW build

jsoncpp is now a pre-compiled package in a MinGW release (the w64 fork).

• https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/pull/422
• https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
• http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
• http://www.mingw.org/

Others

• Debian ships with jsoncpp.
• Ubuntu also.
• Cinder includes jsoncpp.
• HackerRank makes jsoncpp available in its C++ environment.
• Chromium includes jsoncpp. It uses the 0.y.z branch because, though it uses a C++11 compiler, it does not provide the C++11 library features.

Comparisons

  • JsonCpp is not built for efficiency, but it does pretty well.
  • If you need speed, there are several good alternatives to jsoncpp. Consider gason, which is much simpler and typically faster. E.g. using its own benchmark suite:

  Update   Parse   Speed
       -       -       - ../../data/big.json, 6072199 bytes x 10 runs
   10.33  850.67   68.07 rapidjson normal
    6.80  777.43   74.49 rapidjson insitu
    4.52  563.84  102.70 gason

(The first 2 numbers are time. The third is per unit time. So gason is quite fast.)
