-- JSON4Lua: JSON encoding / decoding support for the Lua language.
-- json Module.
-- Author: Craig Mason-Jones
-- Homepage: http://json.luaforge.net/
-- Version: 0.9.20
-- This module is released under the The GNU General Public License (GPL).
-- Please see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ for details.
--
-- USAGE:
-- This module exposes two functions:
--   json.encode(o)
--     Returns the table / string / boolean / number / nil / json.null value as a JSON-encoded string.
--   json.decode(json_string)
--     Returns a Lua object populated with the data encoded in the JSON string json_string.
--
-- REQUIREMENTS:
--   compat-5.1 if using Lua 5.0
--
-- CHANGELOG
--   0.9.20 Introduction of local Lua functions for private functions (removed _ function prefix).
--          Fixed Lua 5.1 compatibility issues.
--   		Introduced json.null to have null values in associative arrays.
--          json.encode() performance improvement (more than 50%) through table.concat rather than ..
--          Introduced decode ability to ignore /**/ comments in the JSON string.
--   0.9.10 Fix to array encoding / decoding to correctly manage nil/null values in arrays.
