+RapidJSON is a JSON parser and generator for C++. It was inspired by
+RapidXml.
+
+Features:
+ - RapidJSON is small but complete. It supports both SAX and DOM
+ style API. The SAX parser is only a half thousand lines of code.
+
+ - RapidJSON is fast. Its performance can be comparable to strlen().
+ It also optionally supports SSE2/SSE4.2 for acceleration.
+
+ - RapidJSON is self-contained and header-only. It does not depend on
+ external libraries such as BOOST. It even does not depend on STL.
+
+ - RapidJSON is memory-friendly. Each JSON value occupies exactly 16
+ bytes for most 32/64-bit machines (excluding text string). By
+ default it uses a fast memory allocator, and the parser allocates
+ memory compactly during parsing.
+
+ - RapidJSON is Unicode-friendly. It supports UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32
+ (LE & BE), and their detection, validation and transcoding
+ internally. For example, you can read a UTF-8 file and let RapidJSON
+ transcode the JSON strings into UTF-16 in the DOM. It also supports
+ surrogates and "\u0000" (null character).
