[JSON][json-org] is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent
numbers, strings, ordered sequences of values, and collections of name/value
pairs.
[json-org]: http://json.org/
JsonCpp is a C++ library that allows manipulating JSON values, including
serialization and deserialization to and from strings. It can also preserve
existing comment in unserialization/serialization steps, making it a convenient
format to store user input files.
## Documentation

## A note on backward-compatibility
* `1.y.z` is built with C++11.
* `0.y.z` can be used with older compilers.
* `00.11.z` can be used both in old and new compilers.
* Major versions maintain binary-compatibility.
### Special note
The branch `00.11.z`is a new branch, its major version number `00` is to show that it is
different from `0.y.z` and `1.y.z`, the main purpose of this branch is to make a balance
between the other two branches. Thus, users can use some new features in this new branch
that introduced in 1.y.z, but can hardly applied into 0.y.z.
