Requirements

To build, install and use the library you must have CMake installed, version 3.8 or later.

Supported compilers

jmespath.cpp needs a compiler that supports at least the c++14 standard. The currently supported and tested compilers are:

g++ versions: 6, 7, 8
Clang versions: 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7
XCode versions: 9.0, 9.3, 10.1
Visual Studio 2017

Library dependencies

boost version 1.65 or later
nlohmann_json version 3.4.0 or later

Install from source

Build and install

To get the source code of the library either clone it from github

git clone https://github.com/robertmrk/jmespath.cpp.git

or download the latest release and extract it.

In the terminal change the current directory to the location of the source code

cd <path_to_source>/jmespath.cpp

Generate the project or makefiles for the build system of your choice with CMake, then build and install the library:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DJMESPATH_BUILD_TESTS=OFF
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Integration

To use the library in your CMake project you should find the library with "find_package" and link your target with "jmespath::jmespath":

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(example)
find_package(jmespath 0.1.0 CONFIG REQUIRED)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} jmespath::jmespath)
target_compile_features(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC cxx_std_14)

Install with Conan

If you are using Conan to manage your dependencies, then add jmespath.cpp/x.y.z@robertmrk/stable to your conanfile.py's requires, where x.y.z is the release version you want to use. Please file issues here if you experience problems with the packages.
