Description

Hi.

I wonder what the expected compatibility with json-c is. Should I always be able to use json-cwx in place of json-c?

If not, this becomes a problem with RPM auto-dependency generation and RPM's auto-provides/requires generators as this library "looks" to tools such as YUM/DNF to be json-c in a _repo-md_ YUM/DNF repository and will be selected when an RPM wants `libjson-c.so.2`.

Research direction

No files or tests are identified. Start by reviewing the compatibility relationship between json-cwx and json-c, then examine how RPM auto-dependency and auto-provides/requires generation handles libjson-c.so.2. Done requires a clear compatibility and packaging decision.
