Detailed Description

Configuration macros for library features.

Some RapidJSON features are configurable to adapt the library to a wide variety of platforms, environments and usage scenarios. Most of the features can be configured in terms of overriden or predefined preprocessor macros at compile-time.

Some additional customization is available in the RapidJSON error handling APIs.

Note
These macros should be given on the compiler command-line (where applicable) to avoid inconsistent values when compiling different translation units of a single application.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RAPIDJSON_48BITPOINTER_OPTIMIZATION

#define RAPIDJSON_48BITPOINTER_OPTIMIZATION   0

Use only lower 48-bit address for some pointers.

This optimization uses the fact that current X86-64 architecture only implement lower 48-bit virtual address. The higher 16-bit can be used for storing other data. GenericValue uses this optimization to reduce its size form 24 bytes to 16 bytes in 64-bit architecture.

◆ RAPIDJSON_ALIGN

#define RAPIDJSON_ALIGN (   x)    (((x) + 3u) & ~3u)

Data alignment of the machine.

Parameters
xpointer to align

Some machines require strict data alignment. Currently the default uses 4 bytes alignment on 32-bit platforms and 8 bytes alignment for 64-bit platforms. User can customize by defining the RAPIDJSON_ALIGN function macro.

◆ RAPIDJSON_ASSERT

#define RAPIDJSON_ASSERT (   x)    assert(x)

Assertion.

By default, rapidjson uses C assert() for internal assertions. User can override it by defining RAPIDJSON_ASSERT(x) macro.

Note
Parsing errors are handled and can be customized by the RapidJSON error handling APIs.

◆ RAPIDJSON_ENDIAN

#define RAPIDJSON_ENDIAN

Endianness of the machine.

GCC 4.6 provided macro for detecting endianness of the target machine. But other compilers may not have this. User can define RAPIDJSON_ENDIAN to either RAPIDJSON_LITTLEENDIAN or RAPIDJSON_BIGENDIAN.

Default detection implemented with reference to

◆ RAPIDJSON_HAS_STDSTRING

#define RAPIDJSON_HAS_STDSTRING

Enable RapidJSON support for std::string.

By defining this preprocessor symbol to 1, several convenience functions for using rapidjson::GenericValue with std::string are enabled, especially for construction and comparison.

◆ RAPIDJSON_LIKELY

#define RAPIDJSON_LIKELY (   x)    (x)

Compiler branching hint for expression with high probability to be true.

Parameters
xBoolean expression likely to be true.

◆ RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE

#define RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE   rapidjson

provide custom rapidjson namespace

In order to avoid symbol clashes and/or "One Definition Rule" errors between multiple inclusions of (different versions of) RapidJSON in a single binary, users can customize the name of the main RapidJSON namespace.

In case of a single nesting level, defining RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE to a custom name (e.g. MyRapidJSON) is sufficient. If multiple levels are needed, both RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN and RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE_END need to be defined as well:

// in some .cpp file
#define RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE my::rapidjson
#define RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN namespace my { namespace rapidjson {
#define RAPIDJSON_NAMESPACE_END } }
#include "rapidjson/..."

◆ RAPIDJSON_NO_INT64DEFINE

#define RAPIDJSON_NO_INT64DEFINE

Use external 64-bit integer types.

RapidJSON requires the 64-bit integer types int64_t and uint64_t types to be available at global scope.

If users have their own definition, define RAPIDJSON_NO_INT64DEFINE to prevent RapidJSON from defining its own types.

◆ RAPIDJSON_NO_SIZETYPEDEFINE

#define RAPIDJSON_NO_SIZETYPEDEFINE

User-provided SizeType definition.

In order to avoid using 32-bit size types for indexing strings and arrays, define this preprocessor symbol and provide the type rapidjson::SizeType before including RapidJSON:

#define RAPIDJSON_NO_SIZETYPEDEFINE
namespace rapidjson { typedef ::std::size_t SizeType; }
#include "rapidjson/..."
See also
rapidjson::SizeType

◆ RAPIDJSON_PARSE_DEFAULT_FLAGS

#define RAPIDJSON_PARSE_DEFAULT_FLAGS   kParseNoFlags

User-defined kParseDefaultFlags definition.

User can define this as any ParseFlag combinations.

◆ RAPIDJSON_SIMD

#define RAPIDJSON_SIMD

Enable SSE2/SSE4.2 optimization.

RapidJSON supports optimized implementations for some parsing operations based on the SSE2 or SSE4.2 SIMD extensions on modern Intel-compatible processors.

To enable these optimizations, two different symbols can be defined;

// Enable SSE2 optimization.
#define RAPIDJSON_SSE2
// Enable SSE4.2 optimization.
#define RAPIDJSON_SSE42

RAPIDJSON_SSE42 takes precedence, if both are defined.

If any of these symbols is defined, RapidJSON defines the macro RAPIDJSON_SIMD to indicate the availability of the optimized code.

◆ RAPIDJSON_UNLIKELY

#define RAPIDJSON_UNLIKELY (   x)    (x)

Compiler branching hint for expression with low probability to be true.

Parameters
xBoolean expression unlikely to be true.

◆ RAPIDJSON_WRITE_DEFAULT_FLAGS

#define RAPIDJSON_WRITE_DEFAULT_FLAGS   kWriteNoFlags

User-defined kWriteDefaultFlags definition.

User can define this as any WriteFlag combinations.
