Please consider submitting this to the Boost Library Incubator #12

Closed robertramey closed 9 years ago

I've taken a cursory look at your package and it seems to me it might well be an interesting candidate for the Boost Library Incubator - www.blincubator.com

It seems to fulfill the minimum requirements - tests and documentation and code. The directory structure would need to be slightly changed to fit into the boost customs - but this is not a big deal - it's already very close.

The submission process itself is very simple and would give your library the visibility it deserves.

This is not a library...

I may be wrong, but my understanding was that @robertramey is suggesting to submit rapidjson to BLI.

Actually I think i got mixed up.

I’ve wanted someone to make json, yaml and other libraries for Boost. A post on the mailing list led me to do a search for any existing libraries and suggest that the authors consider submitting to the boost incubator. I had a few of these going and wasn’t careful enough to see that this library wasn’t what I was looking for so the suggestion wasn’t appropriate. Sorry about that.

Of topic, I am impressed with performance results for rapidjson. I don’t know whether or not it fits in the boost library “framework”. It’s apparently very successful and does’nt need to be a boost library to get the attention it deserves so I wouldn’t bug the author about this. of course if he wanted to try to get it into boost, I wouldn’t have any objection either.

personally I’m a great fan of boost::spirit for making parsers. I like the concept and explicit decoupling of the grammar from the code. So the benchmark results are discouraging to me. So this little diversion into this project wasn’t what I was looking for, I found it quite useful and illuminating - thanks alot.

I think the JSON spirit team may make use of the benchmark and optimize it (and/or spirit) in terms of performance and conformance. I hope this benchmark can help different libraries to improve. This benchmark itself may have its downside and should be improved as well. Looking forward to see feedback. Thanks.
