This is a library for parsing and generating JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
Learn all about JSON here: http://json.org/.
The user-serviceable entry points for the parser are the functions
json-read and json-read-from-string. The encoder has a single
entry point, json-encode.
Since there are several natural representations of key-value pair
mappings in elisp (alist, plist, hash-table), json-read' allows you to specify which you'd prefer (see json-object-typeandjson-array-type`).
Similarly, since false and null are distinct in JSON, you can
distinguish them by binding json-false and json-null as desired.
