Judo, the high-assurance JSON and JSON5 parser, is currently in release candidate status which means it is stable and production-ready, but is being held back from a 1.0 release to ensure there are no defects.

Due to a small defect reported in the implementation, the Judo 1.0 release will be delayed an additional month with the temporary price reduction being extended until July 31st, 2025. The defect in question is small, however, at Railgun Labs, we believe in shipping only the highest quality software, therefore, even a small defect is enough to warrant delaying the 1.0 release until we are 100% sure there are no remaining issues.

New Release Candidate Build

A new release candidate build of Judo has been released which includes a fix for the defect.

To prevent future regression the American Fuzzy Lop (AFL++) fuzzer has been introduced alongside the existing libFuzzer tests.
