Actually I want to write and read data from JSON files in a C++ program.I have worked on text files and know how to implement file I/O for the same.But JSON is what I have just heard of.This is a simple program that involves reading,writing and modifying records. The records are read from and write onto JSON files.

I searched over the internet and found I need a parser library for the same.So I downloaded JSONcpp. But there's no documentation regarding how to use it to encode and decode JSON text.Any help or helpful links are most welcomed!

The project page includes a "how to" example.

http://jsoncpp.sourceforge.net/[^]

C++

Json::Value root;   // will contains the root value after parsing.
Json::Reader reader;
bool parsingSuccessful = reader.parse( config_doc, root );
if ( !parsingSuccessful )
