Json-lib / News: Recent posts

Dear Open Source Community,

I'm pleased to announce that Json-lib version 2.4 has been released.

JSON-lib is a java library for transforming beans, maps and XML to JSON and back again to beans and DynaBeans. It is based on the work by Douglas Crockford in http://www.json.org/java.

Greetings,

It's been a while since updates have been posted to the library. In order to inject new life to it I've decided to move the source code to gihub. The new repo can be found at

https://github.com/aalmiray/Json-lib

It should be easier now to submit patches and bug fixes. Clone away!
The project will keep using sf.net for all other facilities (docs, news, mailing lists, issues, website).

Cheers,
Andres

Dear Open Source Community,
I'm pleased to announce that json-lib version 0.2 has been released.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.... read more
