I have posted this to 68kmla.org but I thought it would be a good place to post it here too as all my classic mac devs focus on system 7.

I have built a C++ JSON lib that I have successfully tested on a fast PPC as well as on a 68030 mac.

It is a tool to help building connected applications like a twitter client for example, that would run on system 7.

If you are a developer and wish to develop this kind of application, just feel free to use and modify this code.

Here is the repository.

I first planed to link it to an SSL lib and make a twiter client (if i find the time to do it)
However, it can be used to make clients for any web apps that support json communication.
It could be facebook or many other things. The key point is to make SSL work on the old machines. Somebody at 68kmla.org started to port an SSL lib to classic mac os.

Haven't heard anything. SSL was probably the showstopper. Even retrieving weather data from anywhere usually requires a connection over SSL/TLS 1.3 these days. The JSON lib is a cool idea, but without up-to-date encryption it's hardly useable for the mentioned purpose (having Mac OS applications to grab JSON data via the web).

A workaround might be using your own webserver as an intermediate delivering the data.

Well, SSL is solved since a few years ago or so. SSHeven uses WolfSSL and OpenSSH to build a SSH client for Classic Mac OS. We just need some input and some guides on how to do it. Nothing is impossible, just look at the Amiga (yes, it's a kids computer but theres quite few good things developed for it regardless ;) ), AmiSSL and iBrowse. Everything is possible if you have the competense.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that.

@68040 .. you mentioned you used to be a professional (windows) dev. No interest in tackling this project? :)
