As part of reviewing priority mismatches for the jammy release[1], I noticed
that we are now pulling two json-parsing C libraries into the default Ubuntu
install. We have had libjson-c in the default install for a while, as a
dependency of libcryptsetup (and others); and libjansson has been in main
since 2015, but is now being pulled into the default install by both
mtr-tiny and nftables.
Is there any hope of consolidation here? Having two competing C
implementations of any sort of parser library in main seems like a
suboptimal choice.
Does anyone have a view on which of these two implementations is of higher
quality or has a better API?
