title: Unable to include rapidjson library in VS2017
body: <p>I am trying to include the <code>rapidjson</code> library in my VS community 2017 project.</p>
  <p>On creating a new project, I tried including/adding the directory <code>rapidjson-master\include\rapidjson</code>at the following places :</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>Properties -&gt; Configuration Properties -&gt; C/C++ -&gt; General -&gt; Additional Include Directories.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Properties -&gt; Configuration Properties -&gt; VC++ Directories -&gt; Include Directories.</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>Either way, when I try to include a <code>rapidjson</code> related file, VS tells me that it cannot find the source file.</p>
  <p>So, when i give this :</p>
  <pre><code>#include &quot;rapidjson/document.h&quot;
  #include &quot;rapidjson/writer.h&quot;
  #include &quot;rapidjson/stringbuffer.h&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I get the following errors :</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Error (active)    E1696   cannot open source file &quot;rapidjson/document.h&quot;</p>
  <p>Error (active)    E1696   cannot open source file &quot;rapidjson/writer.h&quot;</p>
  <p>Error (active)    E1696   cannot open source file &quot;rapidjson/stringbuffer.h&quot;</p>

  <p><strong>VS Info :</strong></p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017</p>
  <p>Version 15.6.3</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Let me know if you know the right way to use <code>rapidjson</code> in Visual Studio.</p>
  <p><strong>EDIT :</strong></p>
  <p>The <a href="http://rapidjson.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rapidjson documentation</a> advises us to <em>&quot;just copy the <code>include/rapidjson</code> folder to system or project's include path&quot;</em>.</p>
