I found JSON Object C#-based library on Unity Asset Store.

It is free.

I have not used it.

@pion2 Use this https://github.com/AngelQuirogaM/NiceJson

mod

I've updated it to support Escaping/Unescaping strings like it must do. I have seen no more problems far from that.

Thanks to @Bunny83

It looks much better now, but it looks like it still does not unescape strings, does it? ^^

Also have you run some benchmarking in regards to garbage generation? You seem to create many new string instances. For large files your "splitting" into seperate strings can easily produce garbage that has multiple times the actual json string size.

Apart from that it looks ok now, though i haven't tested it myself. Currently i'm not that active in development ^^.

Thanks for helping me (also without being active in development ;) ). You were right, i wasn't unescaping it . But now it does. I have also put the solidus escaping opcion if someones need it. I would search to optimize it like you told me.

I use LitJson and am happy with it. I especially wanted to write "pretty" json files which are formatted in an easy to read and editable way. Not sure which other libraries have this functionality, but after testing two, I found LitJson to look good.
