In my past experience, too many extensions tend to break every time GNOME Shell is upgraded and it can take a long time to get them fixed.

The GNOME developers have signaled over and over again that they're unwilling to provide stable APIs for UI customization. Being a developer myself, I can see why it's a burden, but the current situation is that it's being done anyway through unofficial extensions and users are left to deal with the random breakage.

Why not just use JsonCpp then?

https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp

It's a native C++ parser which is mature, actively maintained, and likely safer than a low-level C parser implementing its own string buffers.
