Porting a Python program to C

Question

I would like to port a program which is using urllib and json (Python 3) to C. My question is which libraries exist to replace urllib and json in C and which are the best (easier, documented, fast)? If there are not good libraries in C I also accept C++

Thank you all.

What is the reason it needs to be C? If it is deployment, I believe there are other solutions. — user180326

Have you considered using Shed Skin code.google.com/p/shedskin or Cython cython.org? — TryPyPy

For JSON, json.org has a list of implementations for a variety of languages, including C. Most of them should be fairly lightweight and fast.

To replace urllib, you probably want to look at libcURL.
