0.9.5

• New Streaming API: A new abstract base class JsonHandler has been introduced to allow processing parser events, e.g. to create arbitrary data structures from a JSON input. When a JsonParser is instantiated with an instance of a handler, it will issue all events to this handler.
• ParseExceptions now provide the location in a Location object, containing the fields offset, line, and column. The same type is used by JsonHandler.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to deadlocks during class loading or static fields being null.
• Since minimal-json is a recursive parser, a stack overflow could occur for very deeply nested JSON inputs. A ParseException is now thrown when the nesting level exceeds 1000.

0.9.4

• New API entrypoint: The new class Json can now be used to parse JSON and to create JSON values. This was done to prevent issues with inheritance (see #52). I hope it also makes the API easier to use and to remember.

  JsonValue value = Json.parse(string); // replaces JsonValue.readFrom(string)
  JsonValue name = Json.value("foo"); // replaces JsonValue.valueOf(...)
  JsonValue count = Json.value(23);

  The constants have also moved to Json:

  JsonValue checked = Json.TRUE; // replaces JsonValue.TRUE

  The old methods and constants are marked as deprecated, but remain available in 0.9.x.

• New API to create JsonArrays from Java arrays and varargs:

  String[] strings = {"foo", "bar"};
  JsonArray names = Json.array(strings);
  JsonArray numbers = Json.array(23, 42);

• New API to merge JSON objects:

  jsonObject.merge(otherObject);

  Thanks @phikal.

• Fixed on Maven. The previous version was broken on Maven Central (#48). This is now fixed.

See the updated README for more details on the API changes.

0.9.3

• Improved writing performance by optimized writing of JSON strings (3ffa39f) and adding a small writing buffer (1c73a6c)
• Lots of improvements to the performance tests, included another parser in comparisons: json-smart
• Support formatted output by an optional parameter to JsonValue.writeTo() and toString(). Example:

jsonValue.writeTo( writer, WriterConfig.PRETTY_PRINT );

0.9.2

• Switched to MIT License
• Added typed getter methods to JsonObject. These methods accept a default value that is returned if the member does not exist, e.g.

String name = jsonObject.getString("name", "unknown");
int size = jsonObject.getString("size", -1);

0.9.1

First release that is available in Maven Central.

• Added remove method on JsonArray

0.9.0

First release.
Good stability and performance.
API may still change slightly until 1.0.
