## Integration
You can use the `nlohmann_json::nlohmann_json` interface target in CMake. This target populates the appropriate usage requirements for [`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.html) to point to the appropriate include directories and [`INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES.html) for the necessary C++11 flags.

# Header only
# Integration
There are several ways to add this header-only library to a C++ project. The following flowchart summarizes how to pick one:
```
flowchart TD
A[Add the library to a C++ project] --> B{Already using CMake?}
B -- no --> C{Using pkg-config or plain Makefiles?}
C -- yes --> D[pkg-config]
C -- no --> E[Copy the single header]
B -- yes --> F{Library installed system-wide?}
F -- yes --> G["find_package()"]
F -- no --> H{Use a package manager?}
H -- yes --> I[Package manager]
H -- no --> J["add_subdirectory() or FetchContent"]
```
- **Copy the single header**, as described [below](#header-only) — no build-system integration required.
- **CMake**: use [`find_package()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/cmake/#external) if the library is already installed, [`add_subdirectory()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/cmake/#embedded) to embed the source tree, or [`FetchContent`](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/cmake/#fetchcontent) to download it at configure time; see [CMake](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/cmake/index.md).
- **Package managers**: install the library with a package manager such as Homebrew, Conan, or vcpkg; see [Package Managers](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/package_managers/index.md).
- **pkg-config**: if you use bare Makefiles instead of CMake, [pkg-config](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/pkg-config/index.md) can supply the include flags for an already-installed library.
Once the library is integrated, see the [Migration Guide](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/migration_guide/index.md) for how to keep your code future-proof across releases.
## Header only
[`json.hpp`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp) is the single required file in `single_include/nlohmann` or [released here](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases). You need to add

`single_include/nlohmann` (not `single_include`) as the public headers directory, so include the header without the

!!! warning
On some toolchains, `swift run`/`swift build` fail to link an **executable** target against the header-only
`json` product with an error such as `Build input file cannot be found: '.../json.o'`, because the product
itself has no compiled sources; see [#4650](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/4650) and the upstream
[Swift Package Manager issue](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-package-manager/issues/5706). Passing
`--build-system native` (shown above) selects Swift Package Manager's legacy build system, which does not
have this problem; depending on the library from a *library* target instead of an executable is not affected
either.
You can also add the dependency from within Xcode via **File → Add Package Dependencies…** and the same repository
URL; see [Apple's documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/adding-package-dependencies-to-your-app).
## NuGet

@@ -462,119 +518,28 @@ with

```
??? example
NuGet integrates with C++ projects through MSBuild, so it is mainly useful for Visual Studio/MSBuild projects; using
it as a dependency from other build systems, such as CMake, is possible but more cumbersome than the other package
managers on this page.
Probably the easiest way to use NuGet packages is through Visual Studio graphical interface. Right-click on a
project (any C++ project would do) in “Solution Explorer” and select “Manage NuGet Packages…”
??? example "Example: Visual Studio project"
![](nuget/nuget-search-package.png)
1. Right-click the project (any C++ project) in "Solution Explorer" and select "Manage NuGet Packages…"
Now you can click on “Browse” tab and find the package you like to install.
![Right-clicking a project in Solution Explorer and selecting "Manage NuGet Packages…"](nuget/nuget-search-package.png)
![](nuget/nuget-select-package.png)
2. Switch to the "Browse" tab.
Most of the packages in NuGet gallery are .NET packages and would not be useful in a C++ project. Microsoft
recommends adding “native” and “nativepackage” tags to C++ NuGet packages to distinguish them, but even adding
“native” to search query would still show many .NET-only packages in the list.
Nevertheless, after finding the package you want, click on “Install” button and accept confirmation dialogs.
After the package is successfully added to the projects, you should be able to build and execute the project
without the need for making any more changes to build settings.
3. Search for `nlohmann.json`, select it, and click "Install".
!!! note
![Searching for and selecting the nlohmann.json package in the NuGet package manager](nuget/nuget-select-package.png)
A few notes:
- NuGet packages are installed per project and not system-wide. The header and binaries for the package are only
available to the project it is added to, and not other projects (obviously unless we add the package to those
projects as well)
- One of the many great things about your elegant work is that it is a header-only library, which makes
deployment very straightforward. In case of libraries which need binary deployment (`.lib`, `.dll` and `.pdb`
for debug info) the different binaries for each supported compiler version must be added to the NuGet package.
Some library creators cram binary versions for all supported Visual C++ compiler versions in the same package,
so a single package will support all compilers. Some others create a different package for each compiler
version (and you usually see things like “v140” or “vc141” in package name to clarify which VC++ compiler this
package supports).
- Packages can have dependency to other packages, and in this case, NuGet will install all dependencies as well
as the requested package recursively.
4. `#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>` in your code and build the project. The package's
`build/native/nlohmann.json.targets` file adds `$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)include` to the project's
`AdditionalIncludeDirectories`, so no further include path configuration is needed.
**What happens behind the scenes**
After you add a NuGet package, three changes occur in the project source directory. Of course, we could make these
changes manually instead of using GUI:
![](nuget/nuget-project-changes.png)
1. A `packages.config` file will be created (or updated to include the package name if one such file already
exists). This file contains a list of the packages required by this project (name and minimum version) and must
be added to the project source code repository, so if you move the source code to a new machine, MSBuild/NuGet
knows which packages it has to restore (which it does automatically before each build).
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="nlohmann.json" version="3.5.0" targetFramework="native" />
</packages>
```
2. A `packages` folder which contains actual files in the packages (these are header and binary files required for
a successful build, plus a few metadata files). In case of this library for example, it contains `json.hpp`:
![](nuget/nuget-package-content.png)
!!! note
This directory should not be added to the project source code repository, as it will be restored before each
build by MSBuild/NuGet. If you go ahead and delete this folder, then build the project again, it will
magically re-appear!
3. Project MSBuild makefile (which for Visual C++ projects has a .vcxproj extension) will be updated to include
settings from the package.
![](nuget/nuget-project-makefile.png)
The important bit for us here is line 170, which tells MSBuild to import settings from
`packages\nlohmann.json.3.5.0\build\native\nlohmann.json.targets` file. This is a file the package creator
created and added to the package (you can see it is one of the two files I created in this repository, the other
just contains package attributes like name and version number). What does it contain?
For our header-only repository, the only setting we need is to add our include directory to the list of
`AdditionalIncludeDirectories`:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ItemDefinitionGroup>
<ClCompile>
<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
</ClCompile>
</ItemDefinitionGroup>
</Project>
```
For libraries with binary files, we will need to add `.lib` files to linker inputs and add settings to copy
`.dll` and other redistributable files to output directory, if needed.
There are other changes to the makefile as well:
- Lines 165-167 add the `packages.config` as one of project files (so it is shown in Solution Explorer tree
view). It is added as None (no build action) and removing it wouldn’t affect build.
- Lines 172-177 check to ensure the required packages are present. This will display a build error if package
directory is empty (for example when NuGet cannot restore packages because Internet connection is down).
Again, if you omit this section, the only change in build would be a more cryptic error message if build
fails.
!!! note
Changes to .vcxproj makefile should also be added to project source code repository.
As you can see, the mechanism NuGet uses to modify project settings is through MSBuild makefiles, so using NuGet
with other build systems and compilers (like CMake) as a dependency manager is either impossible or more problematic
than useful.

</code></pre></div> <details class=example> <summary>Example</summary> <p>Probably the easiest way to use NuGet packages is through Visual Studio graphical interface. Right-click on a project (any C++ project would do) in “Solution Explorer” and select “Manage NuGet Packages…”</p> <p><img alt src=../nuget/nuget-search-package.png></p> <p>Now you can click on “Browse” tab and find the package you like to install.</p> <p><img alt src=../nuget/nuget-select-package.png></p> <p>Most of the packages in NuGet gallery are .NET packages and would not be useful in a C++ project. Microsoft recommends adding “native” and “nativepackage” tags to C++ NuGet packages to distinguish them, but even adding “native” to search query would still show many .NET-only packages in the list.</p> <p>Nevertheless, after finding the package you want, click on “Install” button and accept confirmation dialogs. After the package is successfully added to the projects, you should be able to build and execute the project without the need for making any more changes to build settings.</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class=admonition-title>Note</p> <p>A few notes:</p> <ul> <li>NuGet packages are installed per project and not system-wide. The header and binaries for the package are only available to the project it is added to, and not other projects (obviously unless we add the package to those projects as well)</li> <li>One of the many great things about your elegant work is that it is a header-only library, which makes deployment very straightforward. In case of libraries which need binary deployment (<code>.lib</code>, <code>.dll</code> and <code>.pdb</code> for debug info) the different binaries for each supported compiler version must be added to the NuGet package. Some library creators cram binary versions for all supported Visual C++ compiler versions in the same package, so a single package will support all compilers. Some others create a different package for each compiler version (and you usually see things like “v140” or “vc141” in package name to clarify which VC++ compiler this package supports).</li> <li>Packages can have dependency to other packages, and in this case, NuGet will install all dependencies as well as the requested package recursively.</li> </ul> </div> <p><strong>What happens behind the scenes</strong></p> <p>After you add a NuGet package, three changes occur in the project source directory. Of course, we could make these changes manually instead of using GUI:</p> <p><img alt src=../nuget/nuget-project-changes.png></p> <ol> <li> <p>A <code>packages.config</code> file will be created (or updated to include the package name if one such file already exists). This file contains a list of the packages required by this project (name and minimum version) and must be added to the project source code repository, so if you move the source code to a new machine, MSBuild/NuGet knows which packages it has to restore (which it does automatically before each build).</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code><span class=cp>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;</span>

<span class=nt>&lt;/packages&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div> </li> <li> <p>A <code>packages</code> folder which contains actual files in the packages (these are header and binary files required for a successful build, plus a few metadata files). In case of this library for example, it contains <code>json.hpp</code>:</p> <p><img alt src=../nuget/nuget-package-content.png></p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class=admonition-title>Note</p> <p>This directory should not be added to the project source code repository, as it will be restored before each build by MSBuild/NuGet. If you go ahead and delete this folder, then build the project again, it will magically re-appear!</p> </div> </li> <li> <p>Project MSBuild makefile (which for Visual C++ projects has a .vcxproj extension) will be updated to include settings from the package.</p> <p><img alt src=../nuget/nuget-project-makefile.png></p> <p>The important bit for us here is line 170, which tells MSBuild to import settings from <code>packages\nlohmann.json.3.5.0\build\native\nlohmann.json.targets</code> file. This is a file the package creator created and added to the package (you can see it is one of the two files I created in this repository, the other just contains package attributes like name and version number). What does it contain?</p> <p>For our header-only repository, the only setting we need is to add our include directory to the list of <code>AdditionalIncludeDirectories</code>:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code><span class=cp>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;</span>

<span class=w> </span><span class=nt>&lt;/ItemDefinitionGroup&gt;</span>
<span class=nt>&lt;/Project&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div> <p>For libraries with binary files, we will need to add <code>.lib</code> files to linker inputs and add settings to copy <code>.dll</code> and other redistributable files to output directory, if needed.</p> <p>There are other changes to the makefile as well:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Lines 165-167 add the <code>packages.config</code> as one of project files (so it is shown in Solution Explorer tree view). It is added as None (no build action) and removing it wouldn’t affect build.</p> </li> <li> <p>Lines 172-177 check to ensure the required packages are present. This will display a build error if package directory is empty (for example when NuGet cannot restore packages because Internet connection is down).

1. Build and run:
```

```
Warning
On some toolchains, `swift run`/`swift build` fail to link an **executable** target against the header-only `json` product with an error such as `Build input file cannot be found: '.../json.o'`, because the product itself has no compiled sources; see [#4650](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/4650) and the upstream [Swift Package Manager issue](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-package-manager/issues/5706). Passing `--build-system native` (shown above) selects Swift Package Manager's legacy build system, which does not have this problem; depending on the library from a *library* target instead of an executable is not affected either.
You can also add the dependency from within Xcode via **File → Add Package Dependencies…** and the same repository URL; see [Apple's documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/adding-package-dependencies-to-your-app).
## NuGet

@@ -636,74 +708,16 @@ If you are using [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org), you can use the package [nlohma
dotnet add package nlohmann.json
```
Example
NuGet integrates with C++ projects through MSBuild, so it is mainly useful for Visual Studio/MSBuild projects; using it as a dependency from other build systems, such as CMake, is possible but more cumbersome than the other package managers on this page.
Probably the easiest way to use NuGet packages is through Visual Studio graphical interface. Right-click on a project (any C++ project would do) in “Solution Explorer” and select “Manage NuGet Packages…”
Example: Visual Studio project
Now you can click on “Browse” tab and find the package you like to install.
1. Right-click the project (any C++ project) in "Solution Explorer" and select "Manage NuGet Packages…"
1. Switch to the "Browse" tab.
1. Search for `nlohmann.json`, select it, and click "Install".
1. `#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>` in your code and build the project. The package's `build/native/nlohmann.json.targets` file adds `$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)include` to the project's `AdditionalIncludeDirectories`, so no further include path configuration is needed.
Most of the packages in NuGet gallery are .NET packages and would not be useful in a C++ project. Microsoft recommends adding “native” and “nativepackage” tags to C++ NuGet packages to distinguish them, but even adding “native” to search query would still show many .NET-only packages in the list.
Nevertheless, after finding the package you want, click on “Install” button and accept confirmation dialogs. After the package is successfully added to the projects, you should be able to build and execute the project without the need for making any more changes to build settings.
Note
A few notes:
- NuGet packages are installed per project and not system-wide. The header and binaries for the package are only available to the project it is added to, and not other projects (obviously unless we add the package to those projects as well)
- One of the many great things about your elegant work is that it is a header-only library, which makes deployment very straightforward. In case of libraries which need binary deployment (`.lib`, `.dll` and `.pdb` for debug info) the different binaries for each supported compiler version must be added to the NuGet package. Some library creators cram binary versions for all supported Visual C++ compiler versions in the same package, so a single package will support all compilers. Some others create a different package for each compiler version (and you usually see things like “v140” or “vc141” in package name to clarify which VC++ compiler this package supports).
- Packages can have dependency to other packages, and in this case, NuGet will install all dependencies as well as the requested package recursively.
**What happens behind the scenes**
After you add a NuGet package, three changes occur in the project source directory. Of course, we could make these changes manually instead of using GUI:
1. A `packages.config` file will be created (or updated to include the package name if one such file already exists). This file contains a list of the packages required by this project (name and minimum version) and must be added to the project source code repository, so if you move the source code to a new machine, MSBuild/NuGet knows which packages it has to restore (which it does automatically before each build).
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="nlohmann.json" version="3.5.0" targetFramework="native" />
</packages>
```
1. A `packages` folder which contains actual files in the packages (these are header and binary files required for a successful build, plus a few metadata files). In case of this library for example, it contains `json.hpp`:
Note
This directory should not be added to the project source code repository, as it will be restored before each build by MSBuild/NuGet. If you go ahead and delete this folder, then build the project again, it will magically re-appear!
1. Project MSBuild makefile (which for Visual C++ projects has a .vcxproj extension) will be updated to include settings from the package.
The important bit for us here is line 170, which tells MSBuild to import settings from `packages\nlohmann.json.3.5.0\build\native\nlohmann.json.targets` file. This is a file the package creator created and added to the package (you can see it is one of the two files I created in this repository, the other just contains package attributes like name and version number). What does it contain?
For our header-only repository, the only setting we need is to add our include directory to the list of `AdditionalIncludeDirectories`:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ItemDefinitionGroup>
<ClCompile>
<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
</ClCompile>
</ItemDefinitionGroup>
</Project>
```
For libraries with binary files, we will need to add `.lib` files to linker inputs and add settings to copy `.dll` and other redistributable files to output directory, if needed.
There are other changes to the makefile as well:
- Lines 165-167 add the `packages.config` as one of project files (so it is shown in Solution Explorer tree view). It is added as None (no build action) and removing it wouldn’t affect build.
- Lines 172-177 check to ensure the required packages are present. This will display a build error if package directory is empty (for example when NuGet cannot restore packages because Internet connection is down). Again, if you omit this section, the only change in build would be a more cryptic error message if build fails.
Note
Changes to .vcxproj makefile should also be added to project source code repository.
As you can see, the mechanism NuGet uses to modify project settings is through MSBuild makefiles, so using NuGet with other build systems and compilers (like CMake) as a dependency manager is either impossible or more problematic than useful.
