JSonSerial2: C++ Object Serialization in JSON

• JsonSerial allows serializing a set of C++ objects (a single object, a collection, a cyclic or acyclic graph of objects)

• In most cases (and contrary to some other tools), JsonSerial does not require writing read/write functions. Instead, you just need to register which classes and members you want to serialize.

• JsonSerial can handle basic types, enums, C and C++ strings, plain C++ objects, most C++ containers, C arrays with brackets, raw pointers and smart pointers.

• JsonSerial supports graphs of objects pointing to each other, including cyclic graphs. Pointees are automatically created when reading a JSON file. Shared objects (objects pointed by multiple pointers) are not duplicated (note that this feature is optional).

• JsonSerial supports single and multiple inheritance and class polymorphism. When needed, the class of derived classes is stored in the JSON file so that the proper objects will be created when reading the JSON file.

• The names in the JSON file can be whatever you want (rather than auto-generated arbitray names), e.g. the names of the objects' members.

• The JSON syntax can be relaxed: comments are supported, quotes and commas can optionally be omitted.

• JsonSerial requires UTF8. It only consists of header files and relies on C++ 11 templates.

• Licence: Apache Licence Version 2.

BibHTML: HTML page (with images) from BibTex files

BibHTML generates a HTML file from one or several BibTex files; duplicate entries are merged. BibHTML supports regular and custom BibTex types and fields; including images, which be displayed on the left or right side of BibTex entries on the HTML page. The abstract, the keywords, the BibTex citation can be shown on demand (using Javascript). Entries can be selected, sorted or ranked (using a special field that controls their order of appearance). HTML pages are rendered using CCS style sheets. The order of the fields (and which fields are displayed or not) can be changed by editing a formatting text file. BibHTML consists of a single C++11 program, no other tool is needed. Licence: Apache Licence Version 2. Resources: Manual Doc Source code

MarkPad: As many gestural shorcuts as you need

MarkPad is a Mac OSX application that allows performing simple gestures to execute various actions (execute scripts or commands, open/hide applications, files, directories, webpages, etc.) Gestures consist of strokes starting from the touchpad border (thus not conflicting with pointing). Actions depend on the starting and ending locations of the strokes, which allows defining hundreds of different gestures. MarkPad provides a novice and an expert mode. In novice mode, the user touches the touchpad border for a short amount of time and a menu appears. In expert mode, the user perform the same gesture without waiting for the menu to appear. MarkPad can be improved by adding visual or tactile marks on the touchpad (e.g. transparent or colored tape).

See the MarkPad page to get the manual and download the application.

ccuty: C++ utilities

ccstring Useful functions for C++ strings	Provides functions for trimming, unquoting and splitting strings, for comparing and converting ASCII strings to uppercase or lowercase chracters, and for converting strings to numeric IDs (e.g. for switch statements).
ccstringset String set and indexed string set	Provides classes for converting strings to numeric IDs (e.g. for switch statements) and vice-versa and for testing if a string belongs to a set of strings.
ccpath Functions for Unix pathnames	Provides functions for retreiving the basename, the dirname, the extname, for changing the extension and for joining pathnames.
ccsocket IPV4 socket communication	Provides classes for simplifying client/server socket communication. Ensures that messages are properly delimited (a message is never received in several parts, even if it is split by the underlying protocol).
macdesktop For managing the MacOSX desktop	Provides functions to generate mouse and key events, open/hide applications, interact with AppleScript, change volume, play/pause iTunes and get current track, etc.
