Hello, thank you for suggestions. I'll try to implement them.
But should I keep it as struct or rather compact class? Regarding json-glib: I intentionally try to avoid it. I was able to make segfault even with a few simple attempts that should be tested in properly written library, I don't need mapping for GObject properties, and I think I encountered also some issues with big integers, I don't remember now. In my use case more low level, better-tested library will a be better choice. m. 2016-03-02 15:28 GMT+01:00 Ben <iofel...@gmail.com>: > FYI, Vala already has binding for json-glib > http://valadoc.org/#!api=json-glib-1.0/Json > It has nice features like deserialization with GObject properties > > On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 5:19 AM, mar...@saepia.net <mar...@saepia.net> > wrote: > > Hello, I need to write VAPI for jansson JSON library.
