/*! \page roadmap JsonCpp roadmap
+ \section ms_64bits Adds support for 64 bits integer
+ There has been many request to add support for 64 bits integer. Use case for this are:
+ - time is nowdays commonly represented with a 64 bits integer
+ - 64 bits integer are frequently used as primary key id in many systems
+
+ Plans to add support is:
+ - must be optional, a configuration option since not all platforms provides 64 bits integer types.
+ - move definition of Int and UInt from forwards.h to config.h, with the required platform magic.
+ - C++ defines no standard to define 64 bits integer. Rely on msvc extension, and long long type that
+ is widely supported.
\section ms_release Makes JsonCpp ready for release
- Build system clean-up:
- Fix build on Windows (shared-library build is broken)
- - Fix doxygen build issue (discard doxygen dependency check, always rebuild)
- Add enable/disable flag for static and shared library build
- Enhance help
- - Test with recent Scons checkpoint
- - Platform portability check:
+ - Platform portability check: (Notes: was ok on last check)
- linux/gcc,
- solaris/cc,
- windows/msvc678,
- aix/vacpp
- Add JsonCpp version to header as numeric for use in preprocessor test
- Remove buggy experimental hash stuff
- - Release on sourceforge download
- \section ms_unicode Clean-up unicode handling
- - Ensure reader properly convert \u and \U unicode sequence to UTF8
- - Ensure writer emit only UTF8 string.
- - Provides hook to convert string to/from utf8/other encoding.
- - look into iconv, icu and windows API
\section ms_strict Adds a strict mode to reader/parser
Strict JSON support as specific in RFC 4627 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627).
- Enforce only object or array as root element
- Disable comment support
+ - Get jsonchecker failing tests to pass in strict mode
+ \section ms_writer Writter control
+ Provides more control to determine how specific items are serialized when JSON allow choice:
+ - Optionally allow escaping of non-ASCII characters using unicode escape sequence "\\u".
+ - Optionally allow escaping of "/" using "\/".
\section ms_separation Expose json reader/writer API that do not impose using Json::Value.
Some typical use-case involve an application specific structure to/from a JSON document.
+ - Event base parser to allow unserializing a Json document directly in datastructure instead of
+ using the intermediate Json::Value.
+ - "Stream" based parser to serialized a Json document without using Json::Value as input.
- Performance oriented parser/writer:
- Provides an event based parser. Should allow pulling & skipping events for ease of use.
- Provides a JSON document builder: fast only.
\section ms_perfo Performance tuning
- - Provides support for static property name definition avoiding allocation
+ - Provides support for static property name definition avoiding allocation
- Static property dictionnary can be provided to JSON reader
- Performance scenario & benchmarking
