RAA - json/1.4.1

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.It can be easily extended to serialize/deserialize arbitrary ruby objects, and also includes a GTK2 GUI editor for JSON.


Starting from version 1.0.0 on there will be two variants available:

* A pure ruby variant, that relies on the iconv and the stringscan extensions, which are both part of the ruby standard library.
* The quite a bit faster (see the documentation) C extension variant, which is in parts implemented in C and comes with its own unicode conversion functions and a parser generated by the Ragel State Machine Compiler.
