-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.
