I'm up for whatever sort of lively and informed debate you'd like to offer. Would you care to explain to me on which platforms json-c isn't available on? Maybe instead of calling ideas boneheaded you could be a bit more constructive in your criticism. FWIW to help inform the conversation... json-c, the proposed library for supplying json features is available under a standard MIT license free for use without restriction. It is available pre-packaged on all major linux, bsd, and solaris distributions and I'm fairly certin it build on 32 and 64 bit windows as well. It provides an open unrestricted and common interchange format for data that is available in every major programming language. Sooo.. Mister Root, where is the restriction that creates a platform dependency? P.S. typically this is something that would be build time configurable as well for those who don't care to include it in their build. AND the lib is smally enough that those who care to statically link their bins could easily do that too... -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
