 I wrote the library [Tiny allocationless JSON parser in C](https://github.com/MyNameIsTrez/tiny-allocationless-json-parser-in-c), which parses a subset of [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) in 533 lines of C. Only arrays, objects and strings are handled.
 
-I wrote this JSON parser for my tiny programming language called [grug](https://mynameistrez.github.io/2024/02/29/creating-the-perfect-modding-language.html). `grug.h` its allocationless API uses the same tricks as this JSON parser.

 I was inspired by null program's [Minimalist C Libraries](https://nullprogram.com/blog/2018/06/10/) blog post, describing how C libraries never really need to allocate any memory themselves. The trick is to expect the user to pass `void *buffer` and `size_t buffer_capacity`:

 1. It didn't give the user control over how the memory was allocated. So you'd have to manually edit `#define` statements in `json.c`, if you wanted to increase say the maximum number of tokens that a JSON file is allowed to contain.
 2. Whenever `json_parse()` was called, its static arrays would be reset. This meant that calling the function a second time would overwrite the previous call's JSON result. This was fine if you didn't need to open more than one JSON file at a time, though. But even if you did, you could just manually copy around the arrays containing the JSON data.

 ## Final thoughts
 
 Most of the work went into adding tons of tests to ensure it has as close to 100% coverage as possible; `tests.c` is almost as large as `json.c`! The tests also act as documentation. I've fuzzed the program with libFuzzer and documented it in [the repository](https://github.com/MyNameIsTrez/tiny-json-parser-in-c)'s README. Enjoy! 🙂
