[gdal-dev] CPLJSONDocument

[Dmitry Baryshnikov]

Hi everybody,

Happy new year and lot of success in 2018!

I would like to discuss my pull request 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/282

I created a thin wrapper around the json-c library which wide using in GDAL.

This is C++ interface which hides C memory management and provides nice 
API. The web or disk json documents reading chunk by chunk with progress 
indication also added.

In future, the json-c can be easily switch to something other without 
breaking the existing code.

The CPLJSONDocument/CPLJSONObject/CPLJSONArray usage examples can be 
found in frmts/pds driver and c++ unit test in autotest/cpp/test_cpl.cpp.

Is this ready to merge into the trunk? Any objections?

Best regards,
     Dmitry
