Rapidjson is a JSON parser and generator for C++. It was inspired by [rapidxml](http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/)
Rapidjson is small but complete. It supports both SAX and DOM style API. The SAX parser is only a half thousand lines of code.
Rapidjson is fast. Its performance can be comparable to `strlen()`. It also optionally supports SSE2/SSE4.1 for acceleration.
Rapidjson is self-contained. It does not depend on external libraries such as BOOST. It even does not depend on STL.
Rapidjson is memory friendly. Each JSON value occupies exactly 16/20 bytes for most 32/64-bit machines (excluding text string). By default it uses a fast memory allocator, and the parser allocates memory compactly during parsing.
For the full features please refer to the user guide.
JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) is a light-weight data exchange format.
