yyjson

brew install yyjson v0.12.0 MIT

High-performance JSON parser and generator library written in ANSI C.

Why you might care

Drop-in C library for applications needing fast JSON parsing with minimal dependencies. Notable for speed competitive with hand-optimized parsers, single-header option available, and full RFC 7159 compliance. Useful as a build/runtime dependency in C/C++ projects or embedded systems where lightweight, portable JSON handling is critical.
