# json-editor-for-cpp

## intoduction
this project provide bid-convertor between cpp struct and json，and provide json schema that coordinate to cpp struct，thus we can construct a json editor with user interface(web/qt)

## features

- none intrude c/c++ struct serialization support
- arbitrary template for code generator
- json and c/c++ bidi-convertion
- easy complex container support by c++ template 
- json schema support for auto ui generator

## example 

```C++
namespace Sample {
    struct SampleClass {
        int a;
        double b;
    };
}

// generate code for Sample::SampleClass and compile with these code

#include <cpp2json.hpp>

...
// constructor object
void *obj = tb::serializer::CreateObject("Sample.SampleClass");
Sample::SampleClass *sc = (Sample::SampleClass *)obj;
sc->a = 314;
sc->b = 3.14;

std::string jsonData;
std::string err;

bool ret = tb::serializer::Object2Json("Sample.SampleClass", obj, jsonData, err);
assert(ret);

void *newObj = NULL;
ret = tb::serializer::Json2Object2("Sample.SampleClass", jsonData.c_str(), &newObj, err)
assert(ret && newObj);

// or
void *newObj = (void *)new Sample::SampleClass();
ret = tb::serializer::Json2Object("Sample.SampleClass", jsonData.c_str(), newObj, err)
assert(ret && newObj);

Sample::SampleClass *newsc = (Sample::SampleClass *)newObj;
assert(newsc->a == sc->a);
assert(abs(newsc->b - sc->b) < 0.00001);
...

```

## structure

- cpp: bidi-conversion mechanism in c/c++ side
- python: c/c++ code parser using clang(python binding) and code generator for schema and bidi-convertor
- tmpl: templates for json schema and cpp implementation

## todo

actually we implemete a ui generator based on json schema using Qt technology, thus we can use a Qt based json editor 
to generate json data for every c/c++ type and convert it to a c/c++ instance, and int other hand, we can edit all c/c++
instance using by convert it to a json instance and reveal it by Qt widget.

in the future, we also want to implement a json editor using web technolygy.
