What is the best way to generate UTF-8 JSON in C? I've looked at Jansson, but it seems extremely bulky. Is there any other good low-dependency library for creating and reading JSON objects/strings in C?

JSON is a format that encodes objects in a string. Serialization means to convert an object into that string, and deserialization is its inverse operation (convert string -> object).
Parsing JSON in C using microjson Developed originally for server-browser communication, the use of JSON has since expanded into a universal data interchange format. This tutorial will provide a simple introduction to parsing JSON strings in the C programming language using the microjson library.
The purpose of serializing it into JSON is so that the message will be a format that can be understood and from there, deserialize it into an object type that makes sense for the consumer.
JSON is a format that encodes an object to a string. On the transmission of data or storing is a file, data need to be in byte strings, but as complex objects are in JSON format. Serialization converts these objects into byte strings which is JSON serialization.
Perhaps the JSON module from CCAN? http://ccodearchive.net/ It doesn't even depend on anything else from CCAN, and consists of exactly two files json.c and json.h
(The JSON module is here http://git.ozlabs.org/?p=ccan;a=tree;f=ccan/json )
