+### Building and testing with Conan
+
+[Conan](https://www.conan.io/#/) is an open source package manager intended for C/C++ projects.
+It is cross platform and build system agnostic.
+
+Conan requires Python for running, and can be installed using pip:
+
+    pip install conan
+
+ Detailed instructions can be found on [conan docs](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/).
+
+For build jsoncpp with conan, you need to create a [conanfile.txt](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile_txt.html) or a [conanfile.py](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile.html). The first is simpler, but the second is more flexible.
+
+This is a sample conanfile.txt:
+
+```
+[requires]
+jsoncpp/1.8.0@theirix/ci
+
+[generators]
+cmake
+```
+
+**Note**: cmake is not required, you can use other [integrations](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations.html). Or you can set the appropriate environment variables, using [virtualenv generators](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/mastering/virtualenv.html).
+
+Then run the following command from the conanfile directory:
+
+    conan install --build missing
+
+This will try to download the appropriate package for your settings (OS, compiler, architecture) from the [recipe packages](https://www.conan.io/source/jsoncpp/1.8.0/theirix/ci). If it is not found, the package will be built.
+
+**Note**: you do not need to install cmake to build jsoncpp using conan, because the recipe will download it automatically.
+
+If you need, you can customize the jsoncpp recipe. Just clone/fork [it from github](https://github.com/theirix/conan-jsoncpp/).
+
+See [integrations instructions](http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations.html) for how to use your build system with conan.
