Yyjson
yyjson is a high-performance C library for parsing, serializing, and manipulating JSON data structures. It functions as a memory-efficient data tool that utilizes custom memory pools and contiguous block allocation to minimize fragmentation and overhead.
The project distinguishes itself as a SIMD JSON processor, using hardware-accelerated vector instructions for rapid string validation and parsing. It provides a toolkit for querying, modifying, and patching nested JSON objects and arrays through pointer-based access and path expressions.
The library covers a broad range of data manipulation capabilities, including schema-agnostic tree traversal, structural transformation, and deep value comparison. It supports JSON parsing and serialization with extended syntax options, as well as incremental parsing for large data streams and direct file system integration.
