Hi,

I changed CPLJSONObject/CPLJSONArray  methods string parameters to std::string and merged last trunk changes.

Still leave 3 methods with const char* to simplify code because according to standard conversion sequence, methods with input (const char*, const char*) parameters executes method with signature (std:;string&, bool):

   Add("key", "value") --> Add(std::string osName, bool bValue)
   Set("key", "value") --> Set(std::string osName, bool bValue)

See notes in pull request (https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/282#issuecomment-355766795).
I'm ready to merge current pull request into the trunk.

Best regards,
    Dmitry

My preference (and not speaking for the gdal community) for C++ classes
would be:

1. replace const char * -> const std::string &
2. replace CPLString -> std::string

std::string GetString(const std::string &soName, const std::string
&soDefault = "") const;

This is where it would be good to get input from others.

I base the above on maximizing safety while trying to let the compiler do
its best job at optimizing.  Then in about 2022, we can see about
std::string_view :(

Hi Kurt,

Can you explain what should be done in PR?

Do you mean to replace all const char* to?

1. const char* -> const CPLString &

const char *GetString(const char *pszName, const char *pszDefault = "")
const; ->

CPLString GetString(const CPLString &soName, const CPLString &soDefault =
"") const;

or

2. const char* -> const std::string &

const char *GetString(const char *pszName, const char *pszDefault = "")
const; ->

std::string GetString(const std::string &soName, const std::string
&soDefault = "") const;

or?

Best regards,

+1 for wrapping the old C code in some cleaner abstractions!

But +10 for switching to a from the ground up C++ JSON library unless there
are clear reasons for a core C library (I don't think there are)

If we are talking about this kind of code, there are several things that
have bugged me in general about GDAL for a long time.

* Passing char *psz yada all over the place in pure C++ code.  A const
std::string is usually not a noticeable expense and is a lot safer
* CPLString when std::string will do just fine.  And we can write free
functions to operate on strings.  I'm generally bothered by subclassing of
std::string as CPLString.  After reading large amounts of C++ code, I think
it adds more confusion than it ever helps over having clean free
functions.  Interop and analysis with CPLString's is no fun.

Hi Dmitry,

I scanned the PR and it seems reasonable to me. I'm barely a C++
programmer at all and it's clear to me, more clear than before. That said,
I'm not a fan of wrapping things that could be replaced. Have you looked
into whether a more performant C++ JSON library could be used? I haven't
run the benchmarks, but json-c compares pretty poorly to others 
inhttps://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark.

Hi everybody,

Happy new year and lot of success in 2018!

I would like to discuss my pull request https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/
pull/282

I created a thin wrapper around the json-c library which wide using in
GDAL.

This is C++ interface which hides C memory management and provides nice
API. The web or disk json documents reading chunk by chunk with progress
indication also added.

In future, the json-c can be easily switch to something other without
breaking the existing code.

The CPLJSONDocument/CPLJSONObject/CPLJSONArray usage examples can be
found in frmts/pds driver and c++ unit test in autotest/cpp/test_cpl.cpp.

Is this ready to merge into the trunk? Any objections?

Best regards,
     Dmitry
