pybind11_json is an nlohmann::json to pybind11 bridge, it allows you to automatically convert nlohmann::json to py::object and the other way around:

#include "pybind11_json/pybind11_json.hpp"

#include "nlohmann/json.hpp"

#include "pybind11/pybind11.h"

namespace py = pybind11;
namespace nl = nlohmann;
using namespace pybind11::literals;

py::object obj = py::dict("number"_a=1234, "hello"_a="world");

nl::json j = obj;  // Automatic py::object->nl::json conversion
py::object o = j;  // Automatic nl::json->py::object conversion

You can install pybind11_json using conda

conda install -c conda-forge pybind11 nlohmann_json pybind11_json

We encourage you to use conda for installing dependencies, but it is not a requirement for pybind11_json to work

conda install cmake nlohmann_json pybind11 -c conda-forge

Then you can install the sources

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_conda_path
make install

You can compile and run tests locally doing

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX -D DOWNLOAD_GTEST=ON ..
make
./test/test_pybind11_json

pybind11_json depends on

• pybind11
• nlohmann_json
