JsonCpp provides a script to generate an amalgamated source and header file. This is useful for projects that want to include JsonCpp without adding it as a full dependency or build system integration.

Generating Amalgamated Files

You can generate the amalgamated files by running the following Python script from the top-level directory of the JsonCpp source tree:

python3 amalgamate.py

This will create a dist directory containing:

• jsoncpp.cpp: The complete source code.
• json/json.h: The complete header file.
• json/json-forwards.h: Forward declarations.

Integration

To use the amalgamated source in your project:

1. Copy the dist directory contents into your project's source tree.
2. Add jsoncpp.cpp to your build system's source files.
3. Ensure your include paths are set up so that #include "json/json.h" works.
