+/**
+* Converts to and from JSON format.
+*
+* JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange
+* format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines
+* to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript
+* Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999.
+* This feature can also be found in  Python. JSON is a text format that is
+* completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar
+* to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java,
+* JavaScript, Perl, TCL, and many others. These properties make JSON an
+* ideal data-interchange language.
+*
+* 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
+*
+* All strings should be in ASCII or UTF-8 format!
