JIM
Immediate Mode JSON Serialization Library in C. Similar to imgui but for generating JSON.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#define JIM_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "./jim.h"
int main()
{
Jim jim = {
.sink = stdout,
.write = (Jim_Write) fwrite,
};
jim_object_begin(&jim);
jim_member_key(&jim, "null");
jim_null(&jim);
jim_member_key(&jim, "bool");
jim_array_begin(&jim);
jim_bool(&jim, 0);
jim_bool(&jim, 1);
jim_array_end(&jim);
jim_member_key(&jim, "integers");
jim_array_begin(&jim);
for (int i = -3; i <= 3; ++i) {
jim_integer(&jim, i);
}
jim_array_end(&jim);
jim_member_key(&jim, "floats");
jim_array_begin(&jim);
jim_float(&jim, 0.0, 4);
jim_float(&jim, -0.0, 4);
jim_float(&jim, 3.1415, 4);
jim_float(&jim, 2.71828, 5);
jim_float(&jim, 1.6180, 4);
jim_float(&jim, 0.0 / 0.0, 4);
jim_float(&jim, 1.0 / 0.0, 4);
jim_float(&jim, -1.0 / 0.0, 4);
jim_array_end(&jim);
jim_member_key(&jim, "string");
jim_array_begin(&jim);
jim_string(&jim, "Hello\tWorld\n");
jim_string_sized(&jim, "\0\0\0\0", 4);
jim_array_end(&jim);
jim_object_end(&jim);
if (jim.error != JIM_OK) {
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: could not serialize json properly: %s\n",
jim_error_string(jim.error));
return -1;
}
return 0;

}Testing
$ make
$ ./testThe expected outputs of the test cases are stored in ./test_expected.h. To regenerate it just run:
$ ./test recordNotes
- Does not depends on libc. Could be theoretically used in embedded, but I know nothing about embedded, so maybe not.
jim_float()is quite likely very stupid and imprecise
