Amiga release of json-c - A C library for processing JSON

Nightfox · 23 December 2023, 15:39

Hi all

While developing AmigaGPT I needed to process JSON and decided it was far too painful to manually parse the strings. I ended up making changes to the json-c library to make it compile for Amiga. I have just created a pull request to the main repo to get Amiga compilation working.

You can view the main json-c repo here:
https://github.com/json-c/json-c

I have compiled OS3 and OS4 versions of the library and can be downloaded from GitHub here:
https://github.com/sacredbanana/json...-0.17-20230812

Or from Aminet here:
http://aminet.net/package/dev/lib/json-c

I have also added json-c to my Amiga dev environment (also Dockerised) if anyone is interested too. I plan to keep adding useful libraries to that as I require them https://github.com/sacredbanana/AmigaSDK-gcc

awesome!

It's great to see this being properly pushed upstream, too much Amiga porting efforts never do and just vanish.

Thanks, now i need to figure out some REST API client i want to build for Amiga :'D

That's a much smaller changeset than I was expecting. I can't see why it wouldn't be accepted.

They'd like a cleaner solution rather than specific Amiga checks in some places, so I'll do some investigation and clean it up if I can.
