rapidjson

brew install rapidjson v1.1.0 MIT

Header-only C++ library for parsing and generating JSON with SAX and DOM APIs.

Why you might care

Use RapidJSON if you need fast, low-overhead JSON handling in C++ without adding runtime dependencies—it's header-only, so just #include and compile. It offers both streaming (SAX) and in-memory (DOM) parsing modes, making it flexible for different use cases. Popular in performance-critical applications and game engines.
