A free, open-source Chinese-language tutorial that teaches how to build a standards-compliant JSON parser and generator in C (C89) from scratch, in 9 units with exercises and solutions. It also covers TDD, C programming style, Unicode, floating-point numbers, and tooling like CMake, valgrind, and Doxygen.

Use cases

• learn to write a JSON parser in C from scratch
• practice test-driven development in C
• understand recursive descent parsing
• learn Unicode and UTF-8 handling in C
• find a guided C programming project after basic courses
• study API design and data structures through a real project

When to choose

• you know basic C/C++ and want a structured, hands-on project
• you want to learn parser fundamentals with exercises and answers
• you prefer a small (<500 lines) real-world codebase to study

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready JSON library for an application
• you need JSON features beyond UTF-8 text or double-precision numbers
• you want a tutorial in a language other than Chinese
