  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25
  26 ;; This is a library for parsing and generating JSON (JavaScript Object
  27 ;; Notation).
  28
  29 ;; Learn all about JSON here: <URL:http://json.org/>.
  30
  31 ;; The user-serviceable entry points for the parser are the functions
  32 ;; `json-read' and `json-read-from-string'. The encoder has a single
  33 ;; entry point, `json-encode'.
  34
  35 ;; Since there are several natural representations of key-value pair
  36 ;; mappings in elisp (alist, plist, hash-table), `json-read' allows you
  37 ;; to specify which you'd prefer (see `json-object-type' and
  38 ;; `json-array-type').
  39
  40 ;; Similarly, since `false' and `null' are distinct in JSON, you can
  41 ;; distinguish them by binding `json-false' and `json-null' as desired.
  42
  43 ;;; History:
  44
  45 ;; 2006-03-11 - Initial version.
  46 ;; 2006-03-13 - Added JSON generation in addition to parsing. Various
  47 ;;              other cleanups, bugfixes, and improvements.
  48 ;; 2006-12-29 - XEmacs support, from Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>.
  49 ;; 2008-02-21 - Installed in GNU Emacs.
  50 ;; 2011-10-17 - Patch `json-alist-p' and `json-plist-p' to avoid recursion -tzz
  51 ;; 2012-10-25 - Added pretty-printed reformatting -Ryan Crum (ryan@ryancrum.org)
