[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/1] RFC: switch from YAJL to Jansson

[Pino Toscano]

Hi,

recently, there was a discussion in the development list of libvirt on
switching to a different JSON library than YAJL [1].  Since we use YAJL,
and the points there IMHO apply to libguestfs as well, I decided to give
a try in switching to Jansson [2].

The result IMHO is nice, with the additional APIs of Jansson that
simplify some of our code.  Unlike with YAJL, I did not set a minimum
required version, as I did not use any feature in newer versions (simply
because there was no need for them), so even older versions should work.
Of course the test suite works for me, although it does not cover the
LDM APIs.

What do you think?
