This repository is meant to serve as an example of how to use simdjson as a CMake dependency using ExternalProject_Add. It requires CMake 3.16 or better. Though it should work under Linux if you have an up-to-date system, it is untested under different platforms such as Visual Studio.
Usage:
cmake -B build && cmake --build build -v && ./build/src/test
The simple CMake project builds a simple parser (./src/test) which can parse a given JSON document (provided as a command-line parameter) and determine whether it is valid JSON.
A simpler approach is to use simdjson as Git submodule, or just as subdirectory. See cmakedemo.
Please refer to the main simdjson project for further documentation.
We can also do a demo using a single CMakeLists.txt file.
