Description

Since I do not regularly use Windows or the MSVC compilers it would be great to have some continuous integration in place to automatically test cJSON on Windows with the Microsoft toolchain.

This would also provide a basis for adding compiler warning and something like -Werror for the Microsoft compiler.

If I have to do this by myself, I don't know how long it will take, so if anybody wants to step in and do that it would be great.

Note that I don't have permissions to add CI systems to this repository, so it would run on my fork FSMaxB/cJSON (like TravisCI)

Research direction
Examine the existing Travis CI configuration in the cJSON repository (e.g., .travis.yml) and the fork mentioned in the issue (FSMaxB/cJSON) for reference. Investigate AppVeyor's documentation for setting up a C project with MSVC, including how to configure the build script and tests. Consider creating a free AppVeyor account linked to a GitHub fork, then adding an appveyor.yml file that uses the MSVC toolchain to build and run tests. After successful setup, submit a pull request to the main repository.
