Using Comment Lines in wxJSON

Comments are not supported by the JSON syntax specifications but many JSON implementations do recognize and store comment lines in the JSON value objects. Starting by version 0.2, the wxJSON library do recognize and store C/C++ comment lines in the JSON input text and can also write comments to the JSON output text.

Describing a Table with wxJSON

How many times did you use a table in your application? I know the answer: many times. So the best thing would be to write a general-purpose panel window that is capable to show every possible table and table's format.

Creating a Configuration File with wxJSON

We start by using JSON for an application's configuration file. There are many formats for storing application's configuration data. I remember when there was MS-DOS: each application used its own, unreadable and proprietary format (it was a nightmare). Next came Windows 3: it had a better way for storing application's configuration data; they were kept in an .INI file which contains simple ASCII text. This was a good thing because it was easier for humans to fine-tuning application's behaviour. In this example we use JSON to store the configuration data of a simple web server application. If you take a look at the Apache config file you will notice that our example looks very similar (but much more human readable).
