JSON - JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) encoder/decoder

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a simple data format. See to 
http://www.json.org/ and RFC4627(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt).

This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa 
using either JSON::XS or JSON::PP.

JSON::XS is the fastest and most proper JSON module on CPAN which
must be compiled and installed in your environment. JSON::PP is a 
pure-Perl module which is bundled in this distribution and has a 
strong compatibility to JSON::XS.

JSON will detect if JSON::XS is present at compile time. 
Installing JSon::XS (perl-JSON-XS) is recommended.
