Questions

Frequently asked

What is KBVEYYJson?

KBVEYYJson is an Unreal Engine 5 plugin that wraps yyjson 0.12.0, a high-performance C JSON library, so Unreal projects can parse and serialize JSON far faster than the engine's built-in JSON utilities.

Why use yyjson instead of Unreal's built-in JSON?

yyjson is one of the fastest C JSON libraries available. Wrapping it as a runtime module gives KBVE Unreal projects low-overhead JSON parsing and serialization, which matters for high-volume data such as ROWS backend payloads and codegen databases.

Which platforms and engine versions does KBVEYYJson support?

KBVEYYJson targets Unreal Engine 5.4 and later on Win64, Linux, and Mac. It is a third-party runtime module and is not enabled by default.
