# Release-tracking repository for nlohmann/json
-This repository is based on: [astoeckel/json](https://github.com/astoeckel/json).
-The goal is to provide a lightweight repository tracking every releases of
-[nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json), compatible with cmake [FetchContent](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.11/module/FetchContent.html).
+Goal is to provide a lightweight and autonomous repository tracking every
+releases of [nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json).
+
+It is meant to be used with CMake
+[FetchContent](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.11/module/FetchContent.html).
+
+You can always replace the URL by the official repository:
+<https://github.com/nlohmann/json>.
+The only differences are:
+
+* The download size: ~500KB vs ~150MB (300× difference)
+* Some options are not available. See [the unsupported options section](#Unsupported-options).
-You can depends on it using:
+## Example
-**Example**:
~~~cmake
include(FetchContent)
+# Optional: set this to ON if your target publicly links to nlohmann_json and needs to install()
+# set(JSON_Install ON)
+
FetchContent_Declare(json
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/nlohmann_json_cmake_fetchcontent
GIT_PROGRESS TRUE
GIT_SHALLOW TRUE
GIT_TAG v3.10.4)
-FetchContent_GetProperties(json)
-if(NOT json_POPULATED)
- FetchContent_Populate(json)
- add_subdirectory(${json_SOURCE_DIR} ${json_BINARY_DIR} EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
-endif()
+FetchContent_MakeAvailable(json)
target_link_libraries(foo PRIVATE nlohmann_json::nlohmann_json)
~~~
-You can replace always replace the URL by the official repository:
-https://github.com/nlohmann/json
-The only difference is the download size. It would be several orders of magnitude
-larger.
+## Unsupported options
+
+The following options are currently not supported. This is done on purpose
+because they do not really make sense for a mirror repository, or they have not
+been thoroughly tested. Consider using the official repository if you need these
+options.
+
+* `JSON_CI`
+* `JSON_BuildTests`
+
+## Updates
This repository is fully autonomous. It updates itself every week using github
actions.
