This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object, nul, etc). There are APIs for constructing/querying objects and APIs for parsing/formatting string formatted JSON data. This uses the YAJL library for parsing/formatting from http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/ * src/util/json.h, src/util/json.c: Data structures and APIs for representing JSON data, and parsing/formatting it * configure.in: Add check for yajl library * libvirt.spec.in: Add build requires for yajl * src/Makefile.am: Add json.c/h * src/libvirt_private.syms: Export JSON symbols to drivers
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
