How do I import an asset from Github to Unity?

News & General Discussion

Hello,

I am currently busy with a project that I am making for school which includes using an API and I am currently trying out this site: How To Connect To An API With Unity - Unity Apps Tutorial - GameDev Academy .
The only problem is that they are using an asset called SimpleJSON and they also gave a link with it that ends me up at github: GitHub - Bunny83/SimpleJSON: A simple JSON parser in C# .
And the thing about it is that I have no clue how I succesfully import it into Unity because when I try to use the .git and add it into my package manager it gives me an error.

Is there anyone that could help me out so I can continue on my project?

Thanks in advance!

Google “git tutorial”.

Also “SimpleJSON” is awful. It is extremely slow and I do not recommend using it.

I would suggest try JsonUtility instead. Unity native JsonUtility API works threats for me. Don’t know if is best of all, but I am happy with it and is included by default. No need for 3rd party APIs for that purpose.
