Using the library without Arduino

This library is primarily design to be used with the Arduino IDE and therefore has a simplified setup procedure for that purpose. If you use the Arduino IDE, please read Using the library with Arduino.

However, it can be used without Arduino IDE with very little effort.

Compiling the library

Step 1: Download source code:

git clone https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson.git

Step 2: Generate the Makefile for your environment

cd ArduinoJson
cmake .

Step 3: Build

make

File paths

Assuming you installed the library into <arduino-json>, you need to add:

1. <arduino-json>/include to your include path
2. <arduino-json>/lib to your library path

Headers

The following headers are required:

#include <ArduinoJson/JsonArray.hpp>
#include <ArduinoJson/JsonObject.hpp>
#include <ArduinoJson/StaticJsonBuffer.hpp>

Namespace

Every class of the library is declared in the ArduinoJson namespace, so you may want to add the following line after the #include statements:

using namespace ArduinoJson;

You are now ready to follow the instructions:

1. Parsing JSON
2. Generating JSON
