Adding Jsonifier parsing/serializing library.

[RealTimeChris]

As the title says. Let me know if you have any issues with what I've added. Cheers!

Thanks for the merge request, I've wanted to add it, but it doesn't build on the latest Apple Clang, which uses Clang 15. Is there a way you could get your code building with Clang 15?

I've also been running these tests on an Arm chip, because I'm concerned about good performance per efficiency. But, I'm afraid that your library won't look as good as it is, because it doesn't support SIMD on Arm.

I do want to add tests on multiple platforms in the future, as I do run tests myself across platforms, but I haven't gotten this codebase to do so automatically.

[RealTimeChris]

It seems to build and run fine on Apple Clang 17: https://github.com/RealTimeChris/Jsonifier/actions/runs/8849780966/job/24302527709 And as for the arm SIMD instructions - let me work on implementing that it shouldn't take me too long.

[stephenberry]

That is the LLVM clang compiler and not Apple clang, which is released with Xcode and only supports Clang 15. I wouldn't be opposed to running Clang 17 on my Arm Mac, but this does mean that your typical Xcode programmer cannot build Jsonifier. I don't think it would be hard to get your code to build with Clang 15, but you would better be able to determine that effort.

And as for the arm SIMD instructions - let me work on implementing that it shouldn't take me too long.

Sounds great.

[RealTimeChris]

Alright I seem to have gotten it to build on Clang 15 as well as having implemented arm-neon simd instructions.

Thanks, however I'm getting CMake errors with Jsonifier:

Man that is strange that it's throwing that error on line 3 of the BuildFeatureTester.sh script.

[RealTimeChris]

What about now? I recently changed some stuff in the Main.cpp that is attempting to be compiled that should have fixed it.

[stephenberry]

I'm still getting the same CMake errors:

[RealTimeChris]

I noticed you were getting

[...]/build/_deps/jsonifier-src/CMake/BuildFeatureTester.sh: line 3: cmake: command not found

Before - perhaps is cmake not on your PATH?

[stephenberry]

That's right, CMake is not in my path and shouldn't need to be.

[RealTimeChris]

Alright if you pull from the dev branch it should be fixed now.

[stephenberry]

I'm getting build issues. It looks like the parseJson API might have changed. It might just be the test code that needs updating.

[RealTimeChris]

Yes and it was fixed. Thanks.

[stephenberry]

Sweet, Jsonifier is building and running on my Mac now. Will update these benchmarks soon.
