Description:

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, <http://json.org>) is a lightweight
data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It
is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of
the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition -
December 1999. This feature can also be found in Python. JSON is a
text format that is completely language independent but uses
conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of
languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, TCL, and many
others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

This package provides a simple encoder and decoder for JSON notation.
It is intended for use with client-side Javascript applications that
make use of HTTPRequest to perform server communication functions -
data can be encoded into JSON notation for use in a client-side
JavaScript, or decoded from incoming Javascript requests. JSON format
is native to JavaScript, and can be directly eval()'ed with no further
parsing overhead.
