  5. 1. Introduction
  6. Rapidjson is a JSON parser and generator for C++. It was inspired by rapidxml http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/
  7. Rapidjson is small but complete. It supports both SAX and DOM style API. The SAX parser is only a half thousand lines of code.
  8. Rapidjson is fast. Its performance can be comparable to strlen(). It also optionally supports SSE2/SSE4.1 for acceleration.
  9. Rapidjson is self-contained. It does not depend on external libraries such as BOOST. It even does not depend on STL.
  10. Rapidjson is memory friendly. Each JSON value costs exactly 16/20 bytes for 32/64-bit machines (excluding text string). By default it uses a fast memory allocator, and the parser allocates memory compactly during parsing.
  11. For the full features please refer to the user guide.
  12. JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) is a light-weight data exchange format.
  13. More information about JSON can be obtained at

  16. 2. Installation
  17. Rapidjson is a header-only C++ library. Just copy the rapidjson/include/rapidjson folder to system or project's include path.
  18. To build the tests and examples,
  19. 1. obtain premake4 http://industriousone.com/premake/download
  20. 2. Copy premake4 executable to rapidjson/build
  21. 3. Run rapidjson/build/premake.bat on Windows, rapidjson/build/premake on Linux or other platforms
  22. 4. On Windows, build the solution at rapidjson/build/vs2008/ or /vs2010/
  23. 5. On other platforms, run GNU make at rapidjson/build/gmake/ (e.g., make -f test.make config=release32, make -f example.make config=debug32)
  24. 6. On success, the executable are generated at rapidjson/bin
