## Usage
### Welcome to cJSON.
cJSON aims to be the dumbest possible parser that you can get your job done with.
It's a single file of C, and a single header file.
JSON is described best here: http://www.json.org/
It's like XML, but fat-free. You use it to move data around, store things, or just
generally represent your program's state.
As a library, cJSON exists to take away as much legwork as it can, but not get in your way.
As a point of pragmatism (i.e. ignoring the truth), I'm going to say that you can use it
in one of two modes: Auto and Manual. Let's have a quick run-through.
I lifted some JSON from this page: http://www.json.org/fatfree.html
That page inspired me to write cJSON, which is a parser that tries to share the same
philosophy as JSON itself. Simple, dumb, out of the way.
### Building
There are several ways to incorporate cJSON into your project.
#### copying the source
Because the entire library is only one C file and one header file, you can just copy `cJSON.h` and `cJSON.c` to your projects source and start using it.
cJSON is written in ANSI C (C89) in order to support as many platforms and compilers as possible.
#### CMake
With CMake, cJSON supports a full blown build system. This way you get the most features. CMake with an equal or higher version than
