This change introduces a JSON parser and serializer for handling
input options. While the overall implementation is incomplete,
key functionality has been added.
Changes:
- Add nlohmann json to CMakeLists.txt
- Update to C++20
- Update CMake version as needed
- Add JsonParser for parsing a single options file
- Add JsonSerializer for serializing a single options file
- Refactor existing serialization to "LegacySerializer"
- Remove:
cvDoubleVec jointXcoord
cvDoubleVec jointYcoord
cvDoubleVec jointZcoord
from options (unused)
- Add "nodeAssociation" to joints list for explicit
node associations in future updates
TODO:
- Add support for nested option files in JSON parser
- Add a converter for legacy format
- Update joint creation to use explicit node associations
- Update legacy parser to provide implicit node associations
so they can be reused
- Verify changes against existing tests
- Add tests for parser, converter, etc.
…g legacy behavior. Add unit tests for json serialization.

Add support for Json format input files
Current situation
We have discussed adding support for JSON input files here:
Add support for JSON input files
Currently, we have unit tests for the existing legacy format *.in to lock down that behavior, and system tests that also use *.in input files.
Release Notes
This change adds support for a V0 for JSON input files and associated unit tests.
The legacy behavior of the existing executable program is preserved: a single input argument will be interpreted as a legacy input *.in file, and execute as before. If input argument flags are provided, the new behavior will be utilized as per the description in main.cxx:
Preserved legacy behavior:
./svOneDSolver inputFilename.inUpdated behavior:
Parse input args as:
-argName argValue -anotherArg anotherValueCurrent options:
-jsonInput inputFilename-legacyToJson legacyInput.in jsonInput.jsonDocumentation
Documentation will be forthcoming in a follow-up submission once the input argument interfaces and JSON input files have been verified in the system tests.
Testing
Unit tests have been added for the JSON serialize/deserializer.
The existing system tests and unit tests cover the existing behavior and legacy input files.
No testing (including manual testing) has been done for the new input args. This will be managed in a subsequent submission which will add system tests that utilize the input args using equivalent JSON files for each of the existing system tests.
