| Avoiding common pitfalls in Arduino JSON | ||||
| ======================================== | ||||
|  | ||||
| As `StaticJsonBuffer` is the corner stone of this library, you'll see that every pitfall listed here are related to a wrong understanding of the memory model. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Make sure you read [Arduino JSON memory model](Memory model.md) before going further. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 1. Make `StaticJsonBuffer` big enough | ||||
|  | ||||
| By design, the library has no way to tell you why `parseArray()` or `parseObject()` failed. | ||||
|  | ||||
| There are basically two reasons why they may fail: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. the JSON string is invalid, | ||||
| 2. the JSON string contains more values that the buffer can store. | ||||
|  | ||||
| So, if you are sure the JSON string is correct and you still can't parse it, you should try to increase the size of the `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 2. Make sure everything fits in memory | ||||
|  | ||||
| You may go into unpredictable trouble if you allocate more memory than your processor really has. | ||||
| It's a very common issue in embedded development. | ||||
|  | ||||
| To diagnose this, look at every big objects in you code and sum their size to check that they fit in RAM. | ||||
|  | ||||
| For example, don't do this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char json[1024];                // 1 KB | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<512> buffer;   // 514 B | ||||
|  | ||||
| because it may be too big for a processor with only 2 KB: you need free memory to store other variables and the call stack. | ||||
|  | ||||
| That is why an 8-bit processor is not able to parse long and complex JSON strings. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 3. Keep the `StaticJsonBuffer` in memory long enough | ||||
|  | ||||
| Remember that `StaticJsonBuffer`'s function return references. | ||||
| References don't contain data, they are just pointer to the actual. | ||||
| So they can only work if the actual data is in memory. | ||||
|  | ||||
| For example, don't do this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray& getArray(char* json) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|         StaticJsonBuffer<200> buffer; | ||||
|         return buffer.parseArray(json);  | ||||
|     } | ||||
|  | ||||
| because the local variable `buffer` will be *removed* from memory when the function `parseArray()` returns, and the `JsonArray&` will point to an invalid location. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 4. Don't reuse the same `StaticJsonBuffer` | ||||
|  | ||||
| During is lifetime a `StaticJsonBuffer` growth until it's discarded. If you try to reuse the same instance several time, it will rapidly get full. | ||||
|  | ||||
| For this reason, you should not use a global variable for your `StaticJsonBuffer`. I don't think there is any scenario in which a global `StaticJsonBuffer` would be a valid option. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The best practice is to declare it in a local scope, so that it's discarded as soon as possible. My advice it to declare it in a function which unique role is to handle the JSON serialization. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 5. Keep the JSON string in memory long enough | ||||
|  | ||||
| The library never make memory duplication. | ||||
| This has an important implication on string values, it means that the library will return pointer to chunks of the string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| For instance, let's imagine that you parse `["hello","world"]`, like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char[] json = "[\"hello\",\"world\"]"; | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<32> buffer; | ||||
|     JsonArray& array = buffer.parseArray(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
|     const char* first = array[0]; | ||||
|     const char* second = array[1]; | ||||
|  | ||||
| In that case, both `first` and `second` are pointers to the content of the original string `json`. | ||||
| So this will only work if `json` is still in memory. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 6. JSON string is altered | ||||
|  | ||||
| If you read carefully the previous section, you may have come to the conclusion that the JSON parser modifies the JSON string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Indeed, the parser modifies the string for two reasons: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. it inserts `\0` to terminate substrings, | ||||
| 2. it translate escaped characters like `\n` or `\t`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Most of the time this wont be an issue, but there are some corner cases that can be problematic. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Let take the example bellow: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char[] json = "[\"hello\",\"world\"]"; | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<32> buffer; | ||||
|     JsonArray& array = buffer.parseArray(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
| If you replace it by: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char* json = "[\"hello\",\"world\"]"; | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<32> buffer; | ||||
|     JsonArray& array = buffer.parseArray(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Depending on your platform, you may have an exception because the parser tries to write at a location that is read-only. | ||||
| In the first case `char json[]` declares an array of `char` initialized to the specified string. | ||||
| In the second case `char* json` declares a pointer to a read-only string, in fact it should be a `const char*` instead of a `char*`. | ||||

| Decoding JSON with Arduino JSON | ||||
| =============================== | ||||
|  | ||||
| Before writing any code, don't forget to include the header: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     #include <ArduinoJson.h> | ||||
|  | ||||
| For instructions on how to install the library, please read [Using the library with Arduino](Using the library with Arduino.md) or [Using the library without Arduino](Using the library without Arduino.md). | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Example | ||||
|  | ||||
| Here an example that parse the string `{"sensor":"gps","time":1351824120,"data":[48.756080,2.302038]}`: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char json[] = "{\"sensor\":\"gps\",\"time\":1351824120,\"data\":[48.756080,2.302038]}"; | ||||
|      | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     // Step 1: Reserve memory space | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer; | ||||
|      | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     // Step 2: Deserialize the JSON string | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
|     if (!root.success()) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|       Serial.println("parseObject() failed"); | ||||
|       return; | ||||
|     } | ||||
|  | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     // Step 3: Retrieve the values | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     const char* sensor    = root["sensor"]; | ||||
|     long        time      = root["time"]; | ||||
|     double      latitude  = root["data"][0]; | ||||
|     double      longitude = root["data"][1]; | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 1: Reserve memory space | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON uses a preallocated memory pool to store the object tree, this is done by the `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Before continuing please read the page [Arduino JSON memory model](Memory model.md) that explains everything you need to know about `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 2: Parse the JSON string | ||||
|  | ||||
| You invoke the JSON parser through the instance of `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
| It exposes two functions for parsing JSON: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. `parseArray()` that returns a reference to a `JsonArray` | ||||
| 2. `parseObject()` that returns a reference to a `JsonObject` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Let's see an example. | ||||
| Say we want to parse `{"sensor":"gps","time":1351824120,"data":[48.756080,2.302038]}`, it's an object so we call `parseObject()` as follows: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     char json[] = "{\"sensor\":\"gps\",\"time\":1351824120,\"data\":[48.756080,2.302038]}"; | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
| As you can see `parseObject()` takes a `char*` as a parameter. | ||||
| Be careful, it's not a `const char*`, the memory must be writable. | ||||
| Indeed, the parser will modify the string in two cases: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. to insert string endings (character `\0`), | ||||
| 2. to translate escaped characters (like `\n` or `\t`). | ||||
|  | ||||
| Another thing that you must keep in mind is that the string (`char json[]` in the example above) must stay in memory during the whole parsing process. | ||||
| That is because the in memory object tree will store pointer to chunks of the string, so as to avoid any memory duplication.  | ||||
|  | ||||
| Now, to check if the parsing was successful, you can call `JsonObject::success()`: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     if (!root.success()) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|         // Parsing fail | ||||
|     } | ||||
|  | ||||
| The result can be `false` for tree reasons: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. the JSON string is invalid, | ||||
| 2. the JSON string doesn't represent an object, | ||||
| 3. the `StaticJsonBuffer` is too small. | ||||
|  | ||||
| We just saw how to parse an object, there is nothing more to say for arrays, the procedure is exactly the same. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 3: Retrieve the values | ||||
|  | ||||
| Now that the object or array is in memory, you can extract the data very easily. | ||||
|  | ||||
| In this section, we'll see how to do it with a `JsonObject`. | ||||
| Once again, there is nothing more to say about arrays, `JsonArray` works exactly the same as `JsonObject`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Subscript operator | ||||
|  | ||||
| The simplest way is to use the subscript operator of `JsonObject`: | ||||
|      | ||||
|     const char* sensor = root["sensor"]; | ||||
|     long time = root["time"]; | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can chain the subscript operator if you have nested arrays or objects: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     double latitude  = root["data"][0]; | ||||
|     double longitude = root["data"][1]; | ||||
|  | ||||
| But alternatively, you can get a reference to the nested array: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray& nestedArray = root["data"]; | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Casting values | ||||
|  | ||||
| In the previous examples, the values were implicitly casted to the target type. | ||||
| You can also do this explicitly | ||||
|  | ||||
|     const char* sensor = root["sensor"].asString(); | ||||
|     long time = root["time"].as<long>(); | ||||
|     JsonArray& nestedArray = root["data"].asArray(); | ||||
|  | ||||
| If the actual value doesn't match the target type, a default value will be return: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. `false` for boolean values | ||||
| 2. `0` for integer values | ||||
| 3. `NULL` for string values | ||||
| 4. `JsonArray::invalid()` for nested arrays | ||||
| 5. `JsonObject::invalid()` for nested object | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Check values | ||||
|  | ||||
| If you want to know if some value is present, call `containsKey()`: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     if (root.contains("extra")) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|         // root["extra"] is valid | ||||
|     } | ||||
|  | ||||
| If you want to check the type value has a certain type, call `is<T>()`: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     if (root["extra"].is<JsonArray&>()) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|         // root["extra"] is an array | ||||
|     } | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can also iterate through the key-value pairs of the object: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     for (JsonObject::itertor it=root.begin(); it!=root.end(); ++it) | ||||
|     { | ||||
|       Serial.println(it->key); | ||||
|       Serial.println(i->value.asString()); | ||||

|     #include <ArduinoJson.h> | ||||
|  | ||||
| For instructions on how to install the library, please read [Using the library with Arduino](Using the library with Arduino.md) or [Using the library without Arduino](Using the library without Arduino.md). | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Example | ||||
|  | ||||
| Here is an example to generate `{"sensor":"gps","time":1351824120,"data":[48.756080,2.302038]}` | ||||
|  | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     // Step 1: Reserve memory space | ||||

|     JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject(); | ||||
|     root["sensor"] = "gps"; | ||||
|     root["time"] = 1351824120; | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray& data = root.createNestedArray("data"); | ||||
|     data.add(48.756080, 6);  // 6 is the number of decimals to print | ||||
|     data.add(2.302038, 6);   // if not specified, 2 digits are printed | ||||

|     // | ||||
|     // Step 3: Generate the JSON string | ||||
|     // | ||||
|     root.printTo(Serial); | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 1: Reserve memory space | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON uses a preallocated memory pool to store the object tree, this is done by the `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Before continuing please read the page [Arduino JSON memory model](Memory model.md) that explains everything you need to know about `StaticJsonBuffer`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 2: Build object tree in memory | ||||
|  | ||||
| Now that you have enough memory hold by the `StaticJsonBuffer`, you can use it to build your in-memory representation of the JSON string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Arrays | ||||
|  | ||||
| You create an array like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray& array = jsonBuffer.createArray(); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Don't forget the `&` after `JsonArray`, it needs to be a reference to the array. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Then you can add strings, integer, booleans, etc: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     array.add("bazinga!"); | ||||
|     array.add(42); | ||||
|     array.add(true); | ||||
|  | ||||
| There are two syntaxes for floating point values: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	array.add(3.1415, 4);  // 4 digits: "3.1415" | ||||
|     array.add(3.1415);	   // 2 digits: "3.14" | ||||
|  | ||||
| > ##### About floating point precision | ||||
| > The overload of `add()` with 2 parameters allows you to specify the number of decimals to save in the JSON string. | ||||
| > When you use the overload with one parameter, you use the default number of decimals which is 2. | ||||
| > Note that this behavior is the exact same as Arduino's `Print::print(double,int);` which is implemented by `Serial`, so you may already be familiar with this behavior. | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can add a nested array or object if you have a reference to it. | ||||
| Or simpler, you can create nested array or nested objects from the array: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray&  nestedArray  = array.createNestedArray(); | ||||
|     JsonObject& nestedObject = array.createNestedObject(); | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Objects | ||||
|  | ||||
| You create an object like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonObject& object = jsonBuffer.createObject(); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Again, don't forget the `&` after `JsonObject`, it needs to be a reference to the object. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Then you can add strings, integer, booleans, etc: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     object["key1"] = "bazinga!"; | ||||
|     object["key2"] = 42; | ||||
|     object["key3"] = true; | ||||
|  | ||||
| As for the arrays, there are two syntaxes for the floating point values: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	object["key4"].set(3.1415, 4);  // 4 digits "3.1415" | ||||
|     object["key5"] = 3.1415;	    // default: 2 digits "3.14" | ||||
|  | ||||
| You can add a nested array or object if you have a reference to it. | ||||
| Or simpler, you can create nested array or nested objects from the object: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     JsonArray&  nestedArray  = object.createNestedArray("key6"); | ||||
|     JsonObject& nestedObject = object.createNestedObject("key7"); | ||||
|  | ||||
| > ##### Other JsonObject functions | ||||
| > * `object.add(key, value)` is a synonym for `object[key] = value` | ||||
| > * `object.containsKey(key)` returns `true` is the `key` is present in `object` | ||||
| > * `object.remove(key)` removes the `value` associated with `key` | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Step 3: Generate the JSON string | ||||
|  | ||||
| There are two ways tho get the resulting JSON string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Depending on your project, you may need to dump the string in a classic `char[]` or send it to a `Print` implementation like `Serial` or `EthernetClient `. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Both ways are the easy way :-) | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Use a classic `char[]` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Whether you have a `JsonArray&` or a `JsonObject&`, simply call `printTo()` with the destination buffer, like so: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	char buffer[256]; | ||||
|     array.printTo(buffer, sizeof(buffer)); | ||||
|  | ||||
| > ##### Want an indented output? | ||||
| > By default the generated JSON is as small as possible. It contains no extra space, nor line break. | ||||
| > But if you want an indented, more readable output, you can. | ||||
| > Simply call `prettyPrintTo` instead of `printTo()`: | ||||
| >  | ||||
| >     array.prettyPrintTo(buffer, sizeof(buffer)); | ||||
|  | ||||
| #### Send to a `Print` implementation | ||||
|  | ||||
| It's very likely that the generated JSON will end up in a stream like `Serial` or `EthernetClient `, so you can save some time and memory by doing this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     array.printTo(Serial); | ||||
|  | ||||
| And, of course if you need an indented JSON string: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     array.prettyPrintTo(Serial); | ||||
|  | ||||
| > ##### About the Print interface | ||||
| > The library is designed to send the JSON string to an implementation of the `Print` interface that is part of Arduino. | ||||
| > In the example above we used `Serial`, but they are many other implementations that would work as well, including: `HardwareSerial`,  `SoftwareSerial`, `LiquidCrystal`, `EthernetClient`, `WiFiClient`, `Wire`... | ||||
| > When you use this library out of the Arduino environment, it will use it's own implementation of `Print` and everything will be the same. | ||||

| ========================= | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Fixed memory allocation | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Introducing `StaticJsonBuffer` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON uses a preallocated memory pool to store the object tree, this is done by the `StaticJsonBuffer` class. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Before using any function of the library you need to create a `StaticJsonBuffer`. Then you can use this instance to create arrays and objects, or parse a JSON string. | ||||
|  | ||||
| `StaticJsonBuffer` has a template parameter that determines its capacity. For example, the following line create a `StaticJsonBuffer` with a capacity of 200 bytes: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer; | ||||
|  | ||||
| The bigger the buffer is, the more complex the object tree can be, but also the more memory you need. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### How to determine the buffer size? | ||||
|  | ||||
| So the big question you should have in mind right now is *How can I determine the size?*. | ||||
|  | ||||
| There are basically two approaches here: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. either you can predict the content of the object tree, | ||||
| 2. or, you know how much memory is available. | ||||
|  | ||||
| In the first case, you know some constraints on the object tree. For instance, let's say that your know in advance (and by that I mean "at compilation time") that you want to generate an object with 3 values, one of them being an array with 2 values, like the following: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     {"sensor":"gps","time":1351824120,"data":[48.756080,2.302038]} | ||||
|  | ||||
| To determine the memory usage of this object tree, you use the two macros `JSON_ARRAY_SIZE(n)` and `JSON_OBJECT_SIZE(n)`, both take the number of elements as an argument. | ||||
| For the example above, it would be: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     const int BUFFER_SIZE = JSON_OBJECT_SIZE(3) + JSON_ARRAY_SIZE(2); | ||||
|     StaticJsonBuffer<BUFFER_SIZE> jsonBuffer; | ||||
|  | ||||
| In the second case, let's say you dynamically generate a JSON object tree of a random complexity so you can't put a limit based on that. But on the other hand, you don't want your program to crash because the object tree doesn't fit in memory. | ||||
| The solution here is to determine how much memory is available, or in other words how much memory you can afford for the JSON object tree. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Why choosing fixed allocation? | ||||
|  | ||||
| This fixed allocation approach may seem a bit strange, especially if your a desktop application developer used to dynamic allocation, but it make a lot of sense in an embedded context: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. the code is smaller | ||||
| 2. it uses less memory | ||||
| 3. it doesn't create memory fragmentation | ||||
| 4. it predictable | ||||

| Don't forget that the memory is "freed" as soon as the `StaticJsonBuffer` is out of scope, like any other variable. It only hold the memory for a short amount of time. | ||||

| Migrating code written for Arduino JSON v3 to v4 | ||||
| ================================================ | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 was a major rewrite of the library, and the API changed significantly. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Includes | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 had two include files: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     #include <JsonParser.h> | ||||
|     #include <JsonGenerator.h> | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 only has one: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	#include <ArduinoJson.h> | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Namespaces | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 had two namespaces: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	using namespace ArduinoJson::Parser; | ||||
| 	using namespace ArduinoJson::Generator; | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 doesn't require the `using namespace` statement. | ||||
| It has a namespace but the `using namespace` is done in the header file. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## StaticJsonBuffer | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 had different memory allocation models for the parser: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonParser<16> parser; // 16 being the capacity in "tokens" | ||||
|  | ||||
| and for the generator: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonArray<4> array; // 4 being the number of element | ||||
| 	JsonObject<4> object; | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 only has one memory allocation model: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	StaticJsonBuffer<128> buffer; // 128 being the capacity in bytes | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Return values for the parser | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 returned value types: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonArray array = parser.parseArray(json); | ||||
| 	JsonObject object = parser.parseObject(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 returns references types: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonArray& array = buffer.parseArray(json); | ||||
| 	JsonObject& object = buffer.parseObject(json); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Everything else is compatible | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Creating arrays and objects | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 allowed to create `JsonArray` and `JsonObject` directly: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonArray<4> array; | ||||
| 	JsonObject<4> object; | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v4 requires that you use a `StaticJsonBuffer` for that: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	JsonArray& array = buffer.createArray(); | ||||
| 	JsonObject& object = buffer.createObject(); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Note: you don't have to specify the capacity anymore. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Printable interface | ||||
|  | ||||
| Arduino JSON v3 used to implement the Printable interface, which allowed statements like: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     Serial.print(array); | ||||
|  | ||||
| But Arduino JSON v4 doesn't, instead you need to write this: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	array.printTo(Serial); | ||||
|  | ||||
| Note: there was a good reason for removing that feature, and it's reducing the size of `JsonArray` and `JsonObject`. | ||||

| Using the library with Arduino | ||||
| ============================== | ||||
|  | ||||
| This library is primarily design to be used with the Arduino IDE and therefore has a simplified setup procedure for that environment. | ||||
| If you don't use the Arduino IDE, please read [Using the library without Arduino](Using the library without Arduino.md). | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Install the library | ||||
|  | ||||
| [Download the zip package](https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson/releases) and extract it to: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     <your Arduino Sketch folder>/libraries/ArduinoJson | ||||
|  | ||||
| Then restart the Arduino IDE. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Run the examples sketches | ||||
|  | ||||
| Click `File` / `Example` / `ArduinoJson`. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Use the library in your sketches | ||||
|  | ||||
| Just add the following line at the top of your program: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     #include <ArduinoJson.h> | ||||
|  | ||||
| Then follow the instructions: | ||||

| If you use the Arduino IDE, please read [Using the library with Arduino](Using the library with Arduino.md). | ||||
|  | ||||
| However, it can be used without Arduino IDE with very little effort. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Compiling the library | ||||
|  | ||||
| Step 1: Download source code: | ||||
|  | ||||
|     git clone https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson.git | ||||
|  | ||||
| Step 2: Generate the `Makefile` for your environment | ||||
|  | ||||
|     cd ArduinoJson | ||||
|     cmake . | ||||
|  | ||||
| Step 3: Build | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	make | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## File paths | ||||
|  | ||||
| Assuming you installed the library into `<arduino-json>`, you need to add: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. `<arduino-json>/include` to your include path | ||||
| 2. `<arduino-json>/lib` to your library path | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||

| You are now ready to follow the instructions: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. [Parsing JSON](Parsin JSON.md) | ||||
| 2. [Generating JSON](Generating JSON.md) | ||||
