Comparisons

JsonCpp is built primarily for reliability, comment preservation, and broad compatibility rather than pure efficiency, but it performs reasonably well.

If you need maximum speed or modern C++ paradigms, consider these excellent alternatives:

• nlohmann/json: A modern C++ JSON library with a highly intuitive, STL-like API.
• simdjson: An incredibly fast JSON parser that utilizes SIMD instructions to parse gigabytes of JSON per second.
• gason: A lightweight and very fast JSON parser for C++.
