The xchange library provides structured data representation and exchange in C/C++, and includes support for JSON parsing and generation. It is free to use, in any way you like, without licensing restrictions.
For JSON parsing end emitting, xchange provides a higher-level data model than cjson, with high-level functions for accessing and manipulating data both with less code and with cleaner code.
The xchange library was created, and is maintained, by Attila Kovács (Sigmyne, LLC), and it is available through the Sigmyne/xchange repository on GitHub.
This site contains various online resources that support the library:

README.md) - API Documentation
