# 🔥 InitJson - The JSON Lib That's Straight Fire 🔥



## Yo, what's good?



Welcome to **InitJson**, the slickest JSON library for Arduino that's got all the vibes.



We’re here to yeet those clunky JSON struggles into the void and make your Arduino projects **pop off** with clean, easy JSON handling.



Built on the shoulders of the GOAT, **ArduinoJson**, InitJson is like that extra shot of espresso in your code — smooth, powerful, and ready to flex.



---



## ☕ What's the Tea?



**InitJson** is a lightweight, no-cap JSON library for Arduino that lets you **parse, create, and manipulate JSON objects and arrays like a boss.**



Whether you’re cooking up some IoT bangers or just vibing with sensor data, this lib’s got your back.

It’s giving **simplicity and power** in one tight package.



---



## 🚀 Why InitJson Slaps:



* ✅ **EZ to Use:** Chain methods like you’re dropping bars in a rap battle.

* ✅ **Built on ArduinoJson:** We stan the OG, we just gave it a Gen Z glow-up.

* ✅ **Error Handling That’s Bussin’:** `JSONException` keeps your code from yeeting itself into chaos.

* ✅ **No Skips:** Handles JSON objects, arrays, and all the nested goodness with zero fuss.

* ✅ **Lightweight AF:** Won’t bloat your Arduino sketch, so you can keep it 💯.



---



## 🎒 What's in the Bag?



* **`JSONObject`**: Your main character for key-value JSON objects. Put, get, remove, and iterate like a pro.

* **`JSONArray`**: For when you need to stack those values in a list. Add, remove, and loop through arrays with ease.

* **`JSONException`**: Catches those "oh no" moments when your JSON ain’t valid.

* **Chaining Vibes:** Methods like `put()` return the object so you can keep the flow going.

* **Pretty Printing:** `toStringPretty()` makes your JSON look like it’s ready for the 'Gram.



---



## 😎 Shade on the Competition



Other JSON libs? **Snooze.**

They’re either too chunky, too basic, or straight-up ghost you when errors hit.



InitJson **takes the W** by keeping it simple, wrapping ArduinoJson’s power in a clean API, and throwing in some spicy error handling.



*No shade to ArduinoJson though — Benoît Blanchon’s lib is the 🐐, we’re just remixing it for the culture.*



---



## 🚀 How to Get This W



1. **Clone or Download:** Yoink this repo from GitHub.

2. **Install:** Drop it in your Arduino `libraries/` folder or add it via the Library Manager (if we’re in there, check it!).

3. **Include:** Slap `#include ` in your sketch.

4. **Vibe Out:** Start parsing and creating JSON like you’re coding for clout.



---



## 📝 Code That Slaps



```cpp

#include 

using namespace InitJson;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);



  // Create a JSON object, no cap

  JSONObject json;

  json.put("name", "Rayhan")

      .put("age", 42)

      .put("isCool", true);



  // Nested JSON? Bet

  JSONArray vibes;

  vibes.put("chill").put("lit").put("fire");

  json.put("vibes", vibes);



  // Print that pretty JSON

  Serial.println(json.toStringPretty());



  // Iterate keys like a TikTok dance

  JSONObject::Iterator keys = json.keys();

  while (keys.hasNext()) {

    Serial.print("Key: ");

    Serial.println(keys.key());

    keys.next();

  }

}



void loop() {

  // We out here chilling

}

```



### 💻 Output:



```json

{

  "name": "Rayhan",

  "age": 42,

  "isCool": true,

  "vibes": [

    "chill",

    "lit",

    "fire"

  ]

}

```

## 🧨 Methods That Pop Off



### JSONObject:



* `put(key, value)` → Add key-value pairs (chainable).

* `get(key)` → Yoink a value by key.

* `optString(key, default)` → Get a string or fallback.

* `optInt(key, default)` → Get an int or default.

* `optDouble(key, default)` → Get a double or default.

* `optBoolean(key, default)` → Get boolean or default.

* `has(key)` → Check if the key exists.

* `remove(key)` → Yeet the key-value pair.

* `length()` → How many keys you got?

* `toString()` → Compact JSON string.

* `toStringPretty()` → JSON string but make it ✨aesthetic✨.

* `keys()` → Iterator to loop through keys like you’re scrolling X.



---



### JSONArray:



* `put(value)` → Add a value (chainable).

* `get(index)` → Get by index.

* `optString(index, default)` → Get a string or fallback.

* `optInt(index, default)` → Get an int or fallback.

* `optDouble(index, default)` → Get a double or fallback.

* `optBoolean(index, default)` → Get boolean or fallback.

* `remove(index)` → Yeet the element.

* `length()` → How long’s the array?

* `toString()` → Compact JSON array string.

* `toStringPretty()` → JSON array string but make it ✨aesthetic✨.



---



### JSONException:



* `what()` → Spill the tea on what went wrong.



---



## 🫂 Dependencies (The Squad)



* **ArduinoJson v7.0.0+**: The backbone of this lib. Big props to Benoît Blanchon for keeping it 💯.

* **Arduino Core**: Gotta have that Arduino framework to make it all work.



---



## 🛠️ Installation (No Cap)



1. Download the repo or grab the zip from GitHub.

2. Toss it into your Arduino `libraries/` folder.

3. (Optional) Add it via the Arduino IDE’s Library Manager.

4. Include it with `#include ` and start cooking.
