Punchinello is an overwhelmingly bloatsome OBSE plugin intended to enable the use of JSON files in Oblivion scripting. The idea is to make reading data from and writing data to a JSON file somewhat easy, intuitive and straighforward. The plugin itself was compiled on Windows 10 with Visual Studio Community 2017 using Windows SDK 10 and the OBSE source code. JSON interaction uses the open source C++ JSON library by Niels Lohmann and others. Source code for this plugin is available at Github.

Also, it would be worth a note that my skills at C++ are absolutely horrible, so that whatever there may be here, it will probably not look pretty and will perform even worse than it looks.

Known Issues & Bugs

See the bugs section of the mod page for bugs. The bugs section tab is right next to the comments section tab. Should you find any bugs or something else that clearly should not be there, do be so kind as to report it in the bugs section. It might also be a good idea for people considering whether to use this mod to see what bugs have been reported.
