used as a simpler substitute for XML in Ajax web applications). This
implementation tries to be as compliant to the JSON specification (RFC
4627) as possible, while still providing many optional extensions to
allow less restrictive JavaScript syntax. It includes complete Unicode
support, including UTF-32, BOM, and surrogate pair processing. It can
also support JavaScript's NaN and Infinity numeric types as well as
it's 'undefined' type. It also includes a lint-like JSON syntax
validator which tests JSON text for strict compliance to the standard.

development and has changed the mental model used at Enthought for
programming in the already extremely efficient Python programming
language.
The Traits project allows Python programmers to use a special kind
of type definition called a trait, which gives object attributes
some additional characteristics, such as Initialization, Validation,
Delegation, Notification and Visualization.
A class can freely mix trait-based attributes with normal Python
attributes, or can opt to allow the use of only a fixed or open set
of trait attributes within the class. Trait attributes defined by
a classs are automatically inherited by any subclass derived from
the class.

*enthought.etsconfig: Supports configuring settings that need to be
shared across multiple projects or programs on the same system. Most
significant of these is the GUI toolkit to be used. You can also

This module tries to find middle ground between one at a time and all at
once processing of data sets.
The purpose of this module is to avoid the overhead of implementing an
iterative api when this isn't necessary, without breaking forward
compatibility in case that becomes necessary later on.
The API optimizes for when a data set typically fits in memory and is
returned as an array, but the consumer cannot assume that the data set is
bounded.
The API is destructive in order to minimize the chance that resultsets are
leaked due to improper usage.

automatic persistence and versioning by recording messages sent to objects. It
offers a flexible versioning scheme where both individual objects and their
entire object graph can be versioned separately. The built-in object model is a
generalization of the property model used by the AddressBook framework. Foreign
model objects can be also integrated by wrapping them with a special proxy.
CoreObject uses the EtoileSerialize framework which, in many cases, allows
objects and messages to be automatically serialized with no extra code being
written.

features for web application testing. The Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
module meshes the two to allow easy testing of Catalyst applications
without starting up a web server.
Testing web applications has always been a bit tricky, normally starting
a web server for your application and making real HTTP requests to it.
This module allows you to test Catalyst web applications but does not
start a server or issue HTTP requests. Instead, it passes the HTTP
request object directly to Catalyst. Thus you do not need to use a real
hostname: "http://localhost/" will do.

This does more than simply undefine the subroutine in the manner of
undef &foo, which leaves a stub that can trigger AUTOLOAD (and,
consequently, won't work for deleting methods). The subroutine is
completely obliterated from the symbol table (though there may be
