The serializing counterpart to json-parser.

As with json-parser: BSD licensed, almost ANSI C89 apart from a single use of snprintf.

Usage

Quick example (docs coming soon):

json_value * arr = json_array_new(0);
json_array_push(arr, json_string_new("Hello world!"));
json_array_push(arr, json_integer_new(128));

char * buf = malloc(json_measure(arr));
json_serialize(buf, arr);

printf("%s\n", buf);
[ "Hello world!", 128 ]

json-builder is fully interoperable with json-parser:

char json[] = "[ 1, 2, 3 ]";

json_settings settings = {};
settings.value_extra = json_builder_extra;  /* space for json-builder state */

char error[128];
json_value * arr = json_parse_ex(&settings, json, strlen(json), error);

/* Now serialize it again. */
char * buf = malloc(json_measure(arr));
json_serialize(buf, arr);

printf("%s\n", buf);
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

Note that values created by or modified by json-builder must be freed with json_builder_free instead of json_value_free, otherwise the memory of the builder state will be leaked.
