When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free JSON library for C
- you want full Unicode/UTF-8 support
- you need a well-documented, extensively tested JSON parser
- you target multiple platforms including Android
When to avoid
- you are working in C++ and prefer a native C++ JSON library
