csound-json provides over fifty permutations of opcodes for the parsing and manipulation of JSON. Data can be deserialised from a string or file, and similarly serialised and output to string or file.
Simple key/index access is available, as are more powerful query expressions using JSONPath and JSON Pointer. Arrays can be easily translated to native Csound arrays and reinserted to JSON structures. Mostly all operations are performed on object handles, which are Csound references to JSON objects stored internally. All opcodes are available at init time, and those feasible for k-rate performance are additionally provided.
- Cmake >= 2.8.12
- Csound with development headers >= 6.14.0
- Compiler with C++11 support
- If using G++, >= 4.8.5 is needed due to std::regex implementation
Create a build directory at the top of the source tree, execute cmake .., make and optionally make install as root. If the latter is not used/possible then the resulting library can be used with the --opcode-lib flag in Csound.
eg:
git clone https://git.1bpm.net/csound-json
cd csound-json
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make && sudo make install
Cmake should find Csound and any other required libraries using the modules in the cmake/Modules directory and installation should be as simple as above.
Some examples are provided in the examples directory.
