      WIP JSON encoder/decoder library. Currently only encodes. · e3e9ce8d
      Kenton Varda authored
      The library allows for registering special handlers for specific types or fields. This is particluarly useful for overriding the way `Data` is encoded (since many approaches exist) or supporting encodings like EJSON or Q which extend JSON with special types encoded as objects with field names perfixed by dollar signs.
      
      Not integrated into build system yet (but builds nicely with Ekam). I think this is going to need to be a separate library, e.g. libcapnp-json, because clearly a lot of Cap'n Proto users don't need it at all.
      
      For the moment, this was written for use inside Sandstorm. There is no current need for a decoder, so I have not written that yet and have no immediate plans to do so. But it will be added before any official Cap'n Proto release, certainly. A simple recursive descent parser should be easy...

      Implement "lite mode", where reflection is disabled. · c772a700
      Kenton Varda authored
      To use, pass --disable-reflection to the configure script.
      
      This produces a smaller runtime library. However, using it for this purpose is not recommended. The main purpose of lite mode is to define a subset of Cap'n Proto which might plausibly compile under MSVC. MSVC still lacks full support for constexpr and expression SFINAE; luckily, most of our use of these things relates to reflection, and not all users need reflection.
      
      Cap'n Proto lite mode inherits its name from Protocol Buffers' lite mode. However, there are some key differences:
      
      - Protobuf generated code included global constructors related to registering descriptors and extensions. For many people, this was the main reason to use lite mode: to get rid of these global constructors and achieve faster startup times. Cap'n Proto, on the other hand, never had global constructors in the first place.
      
      - Schemas are actually still available in lite mode, though only in their raw (Cap'n Proto structure) form. Only the schema API (which wraps the raw schemas in a more convenient interface) and reflection API (which offers a convenient way to use the schemas) are unavailable.
      
      - Lite mode is enabled in an application by defining CAPNP_LITE rather than by specifying an annotation in the schema file. This better-reflects real-world usage patterns, where you typically want to enable lite mode application-wide anyway.
      
      - We do not build the lite mode library by default. You must request it by passing --disable-reflection to the configure script. Before you can do that, you must have a prebuilt Cap'n Proto compiler binary available, since the compiler can't be built without reflection.
      
      - Relatedly, the lite mode library is built with the same name as the full library. This library is not intended to be installed. If anything it should be statically linked. But, mostly the option only exists on non-MSVC platform to give us a way to test that we haven't broken lite mode.

      Change license to MIT. · 889204fe
      Kenton Varda authored
      For portions currently copyright by Kenton (most of it), transfer copyright to Sandstorm Development Group, Inc. (Kenton's company).
      
      The license change is practically meaningless, as MIT and BSD 2-clause are legally equivalent. However, the BSD 2-clause license is sometimes confused for its ugly siblings, BSD 3-clause and BSD 4-clause. The MIT license is more immediately recognizeable for what it is.
      
      Rémy Blank and Jason Choy (the two non-trivial contributors) are on record as approving this change:
