Description

When you want to help with the development of this library, there are plenty of things were you are more than welcome:

Blocked Issues

  • In #3106, the missing possibility to switch on JSON_DIAGNOSTICS via CMake when installing the library via Homebrew. If you are familiar with Homebrew, you could fix the formula accordingly.

  • In #2907, an issue in the pkgconfig integration is reported. Apparently, executing tests change the install prefix.
