What is the easiest json library to integrate with Unity?

Last update in 2007... eek

Unfortunately 'jsonsharp' pack seems largely useless. I use and have previously strongly recommended:

"X$$anonymous$$L-JSON Serialization" from the Asset store ..

http://www.aworldforus.com/xml-json-serialization/

It is extremely easy to use,documented, continuously developed and they answer email instantly. Eg:

 var stream:JSONOutStream = new JSONOutStream( );
 stream
   .Content("name", "$$anonymous$$")
   .Content("height", 1.12)
   .End();
 Debug.Log("JSON done... " + stream.Serialize() );

HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE BOVINE'S CO$$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$ENTS ON THIS PAC$$anonymous$$AGE, BELOW.

As stated above I had the following issues with this X$$anonymous$$L-JSON lib on the asset store:

1. cannot decode an exponential float when it has encoded it itself

2. does not auto escape strings

3. does not support dictionary types

4. does not tolerate missing variables - i.e. if I have extended a class previously serialized

Using it as @Fattie is might be better that automatic serialization... Also, some of the above may have been fixed now.

Looking at the code I also felt it looked a tad hacky. It's cheapish and functional however, but for me the above points killed it, though I could handle point 3 missing had 1 and 2 been present and point 4 might have been something I could stomach, but if you use it to save game data for instance and then add to that structure it just won't deserialize that structure anymore and your save is toast.

You could also use my SimpleJSON parser ;) It's actually the most advanced one around, but still doesn't have an own type for the different "JSON value types". However there are easy to use casting properties like ToInt, ToFloat, ... which can be used to read to write a value.

There's an implicit string to JSONData and JSONData to string operator, so it's very easy to use. I use it myself all across my project to save the levels the user can build, compress them, load from or send to a server, ... The targetplatform of my game is Android and iOS but it works on most others as well except Webplayer and flash for the time being due to file access routines.

I will update it when i have some time, but at the moment there isn't any ;)

ps: It does read it's own format and does escape critical stuff (namely '\\', '\"', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\b', '\f')

@bov for future readers, per your question title I believe the EASIEST one to use is the "aworldifus" one mentioned. I am a leading expert on finding the "easiest" thing to use, believe me :-) (ie, my general stupidity and incompetence is proof os ease of use .. "if Fattie can install and use it ANYONE can use it" :) )
