* Thanks to Dustin Schneider <dustin@stocktwits.com>, who reported a memory
leak, which is fixed in this release.
* Applied 993f261ccb8f911d2ae57e9db48ec7acd0187283 patch from josh@github.
2010-04-25 (1.4.1)
* Fix for a bug reported by Dan DeLeo <dan@kallistec.com>, caused by T_FIXNUM
being different on 32bit/64bit architectures.
2010-04-23 (1.4.0)
* Major speed improvements and building with simplified
directory/file-structure.
* Extension should at least be comapatible with MRI, YARV and Rubinius.
2010-04-07 (1.2.4)
* Triger const_missing callback to make Rails' dynamic class loading work.
2010-03-11 (1.2.3)
* Added a State#[] method which returns an attribute's value in order to
increase duck type compatibility to Hash.
2010-02-27 (1.2.2)
* Made some changes to make the building of the parser/generator compatible
to Rubinius.
2009-11-25 (1.2.1)
* Added :symbolize_names option to Parser, which returns symbols instead of
strings in object names/keys.
2008-07-10 (1.1.3)
* Wesley Beary <monki@geemus.com> reported a bug in json/add/core's DateTime
handling: If the nominator and denominator of the offset were divisible by
each other Ruby's Rational#to_s returns them as an integer not a fraction
with '/'. This caused a ZeroDivisionError during parsing.
* Use Date#start and DateTime#start instead of sg method, while
remaining backwards compatible.
* Supports ragel >= 6.0 now.
* Corrected some tests.
* Some minor changes.
This is a implementation of the JSON specification according to RFC
4627. You can think of it as a low fat alternative to XML, if you
want to store data to disk or transmit it over a network rather than
use a verbose markup language.
The JSON generator escapes all non-ASCII an control characters with
\uXXXX escape sequences and supports UTF-16 surrogate pairs in order
to be able to generate the whole range of Unicode code points. This
means that generated JSON text is encoded as UTF-8 (because ASCII is
a subset of UTF-8) and at the same time avoids decoding problems for
receiving endpoints that don't expect UTF-8 encoded texts.
This package is a pure Ruby variant that relies on the iconv and the
stringscan extensions, which are both part of the Ruby standard library.
