I haven't review the package, but it would be very nice if anyone can compare 
that to the json-c project [1], which looks quite serious to me, at least as 
briefly scanning through the code. We have JSON implementations in almost any 
language already available in Debian (including a C++ one, which is nice), but 
not for C. I haven't used neither of these, but would appreciate a review by 
someone who has used any of these in their apps.
