Compact and Fast Json for C#

SharpJson

SharpJson is a JSON parser for C#. Its main principles is to provide a lightweight and powerful API that is easy to integrate with any project.

SharpJson is based on Patrick van Bergen original JSON parser.

It was optimized and refactored, but still keeping the simplicity of the original API.

Improvements made from original parser

• Optimized parser speed (deserialize roughly near 3x faster than original)
• Added support to handle lexer/parser error messages with line numbers
• Added more fine grained control over type conversions during the parsing
• Refactory API (Separate Lexer code from Parser code and the Encoder from Decoder)

Goals

• Easy to integrate (one single source code file)
• Provide good performance for big and small JSON files
