-- Library methods for handling JSON data. It handles JSON encoding and
-- decoding according to RFC 4627.
--
-- There is a test section at the bottom which shows some example
-- parsing. If you want to parse JSON, you can test it by pasting sample JSON
-- into the TESTS
table and run the test
method
--
-- There is a straightforward mapping between JSON and Lua data types. One
-- exception is JSON NULL
, which is not the same as Lua
-- nil
. (A better match for Lua nil
is JavaScript
-- undefined
.) NULL
values in JSON are represented by
-- the special value json.NULL
.

-- TODO: Unescape/escape unicode
-- Version 0.4
-- Created 01/25/2010 - v0.1 - created by Martin Holst Swende
-- Heavily modified 02/22/2010 - v0.3. Rewrote the parser into an OO-form, to not have to handle
-- all kinds of state with parameters and return values.
-- Modified 02/27/2010 - v0.4 Added unicode handling (written by David Fifield). Renamed toJson
-- and fromJson intogenerate() and parse(), implemented more proper numeric parsing and added some more error checking.
