    sj.h

    sj.h

    A tiny little JSON parsing library

    sj.h is a tiny JSON parsing library written in C99 for developers who want a minimal, allocation-free way to walk through JSON data. It is intentionally small, around a few hundred lines or less depending on how it is counted, and keeps state minimal so it can fit into constrained environments. The library does not try to own every part of JSON handling; instead, it leaves number conversion and string interpretation to the user. This design gives developers direct control over memory,...
