Motivation

  • Provide a factual analysis to evaluate removing YAJL (Issue Drop YAJL dependency owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity#3308) by collecting repository metadata and comparing alternative JSON libraries.
  • Capture observable signals about maintenance, CVEs, packaging, and migration risks to support a project decision.

Description

  • Add analysis/library_snapshot.txt containing GitHub metadata snapshots for YAJL, JSON-C, Jansson, and RapidJSON.
  • Add analysis/library_tags.txt containing observed release tags and dates for the same libraries.
  • Add detailed migration analysis documents analysis/yajl-migration-analysis.en.md and analysis/yajl-migration-analysis.de.md that compare YAJL to json-c/json-c, akheron/jansson, and Tencent/rapidjson, summarize risks, and provide a recommendation.

Testing

  • No automated tests were added or modified for these documentation/analysis files.
  • No CI or unit tests were executed as part of this documentation-only change.
  • Existing CI pipelines should be unaffected by these additions.
