## Introduction to json-c

The json-c implements a reference counting object model that allows you to easily construct JSON objects in C, output them as JSON formatted strings and parse JSON formatted strings back into the C representation of JSON objects.

Doxygen-1.17.0 and Graphviz-15.1.0 (for dot tool)

## Installation of json-c

Install json-c by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
          -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
          -D BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF     \
          .. &&
    make

If you have installed Doxygen-1.17.0 and Graphviz-15.1.0, you can build the documentation by running the following command:

    doxygen doc/Doxyfile

To test the results, issue: make test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

If you built the documentation, install it by running the following commands as the `root` user:

    install -d -vm755 /usr/share/doc/json-c-0.19 &&
    install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/json-c-0.19

## Command Explanations

`-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`: This switch is used to apply a higher level of compiler optimizations.
