I guess that means you make your decisions by committee.

In the interests of pure typeface anatomy I'm posting this message beneath the timely extent of mean line "median" interior wandering (of OG's "I") in hopes of returning the symmetrical x-height ascender to the vertical in order for the final post to bring a baseline back to the imaginary foot serif to which the OP is referring.

Low turnout, because most of you are locked down / off until the new year.
So ... Tomorrow's CCC will be the last for the year, and whoever wins will have to remember to post on Tuesday January 5th 2021.

They can certainly get fork-faced if they drink too much; they're basteds at heart and I've had e-knife of their arrogance. One might say I de-spice them enough that I would consider a salt.

Any preferences?
Keep it running?
Stop for a couple of days and restart next Tuesday?
Stop for a several days and restart next Month?
I leave it entirely in your hands: the option with the most votes (that isn't physically impossible or against any laws, natural or legal) will probably get it, but I'm easy any way.

I would say a good Christmas/New Year break.
A week off. [No CCC from 25th Dec 20 to 3rd Jan 21]

I haven't been putting much effort into solving them for the past few weeks, so my opinion probably shouldn't factor in to it too much, but I will cast my vote onto the "After tomorrow, put a break on them until the new year" pile.

I recently posted an article on efficient JSON processing and I have over 600 views and no downloads.
Writing this article took more effort than most of the articles I've posted here. I think it's too long though. 
I guess maybe if it takes that much to explain something it's too difficult to use. 
I may write a code generator to generate the C++ code from JSONPath queries that will use it for you.

A given article is as long as it's gotta be. Don't shorten it, but maybe create a section at the top that gives an abbreviate explanation of what the code does, and then a (much) more detailed explanation for people that don't have ADD and want to know the innermost workings. That will appease both camps.
As far as downloads, i wouldn't worry about it. You did your job and put the code out there. When people need it, they'll download it. At just 600 views, i think it's a little early to be concerned. I posted an article last week and didn't get a download until it got over 900 views.
I've found that highly technical or extremely detailed articles are not appreciated for their content, and this is reflected by the dearth of articles that are submitted that are only a couple hundred words over the last have dozen years. I've actually had artcles down-voted because someone thinks they're too long.

Hi you've written a couple on JSON which one do you mean ?

Let me know what you think if/when you get a chance to read it. It's an entirely different way of processing JSON and I'm not sure how understandable it is so I'd love feedback!
If it's effective enough I may port it back to C# (my original came from a port of a C# one I wrote and then evolved it several times in C++) but you'll lose the RAM efficiency. It's still good for selectively bulk uploading in that case though. The thing chews through JSON like nobody's business.
The main downside is at the moment it's ASCII only but I'm working on utf8 encoded unicode support right now.

I look forward to reading it - it will give something to focus on as I'm in the UK south of London and we're locked down big time - thanks for replying

We're locked down here too. That's part of why I wrote it. Be well.

I am going to guess that the majority of us in the industry do not have a pressing need for a new json processor/parser.
give it time and you may have a few downloads from people who need an efficient json processor.

I thought people wouldn't have a pressing need for my IoT stuff either but they snapped it up.
This is actually a library targeting IoT devices like Arduinos (even 8 bit) but it scales to at least 32 bit on PC and server where it can be used to do bulk uploading, which it does very well - better than most engines.
So it's niche, but it's quite useful, even if there are existing ones out there. Particularly for IoT where mostly there's just ArduinoJson and other in-memory models - which aren't so great when you have 8kB of RAM like on a lil ATmega2560
