Credits & Dependencies

JSON for Modern C++

To work easly with JSON files, CustomQuest relies on JSON for Modern C++ by Niels Lohmann.
Although relying on external libraries, no dependencies are needed to install CustomQuest, since said library is already included in this repository (src/include/json.hpp) via the single_include version provided by the author, in order to make it easier for you, the end user, to enjoy CustomQuest.
