Hi,
Given the popularity of simplejson I was thinking that it would be nice to set up continuous fuzzing of simplejson, by way of OSS-Fuzz. In this PR: google/oss-fuzz#4905 I have done exactly that, namely created the necessary logic from an OSS-Fuzz perspective to integrate simplejson. This includes developing initial fuzzers as well as integrating into OSS-Fuzz, however, it is preferable to have the fuzzers upstream so I included it in this PR - if you are happy with having the fuzzers here then I will remove them from the OSS-Fuzz repository.
Essentially, OSS-Fuzz is a free service run by Google that performs continuous fuzzing of important open source projects. Python support was recently provided and it can also fuzz native extensions, i.e. for memory corruption errors. The only expectation of integrating into OSS-Fuzz is that bugs will be fixed. This is not a "hard" requirement in that no one enforces this and the main point is if bugs are not fixed then it is a waste of resources to run the fuzzers, which we would like to avoid.
If you would like to integrate, the only thing I need is as list of email(s) that will get access to the data produced by OSS-Fuzz, such as bug reports, coverage reports and more stats. Notice the emails affiliated with the project will be public in the OSS-Fuzz repo, as they will be part of a configuration file.
