  Description     : JSON module written in Lua
 dkjson is a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) encoder / decoder. It supports
UTF-8.
 .
 It is written in Lua without any dependencies, but when LPeg (provided in
Debian by lua-lpeg) is installed dkjson uses it to speed up decoding.


This package is a dependency of busted (#783044), which in turn is a dependency
to run tests for neovim (#752264).

I plan to maintain it in pkg-lua.

Additionnal note: This Lua library is currently shipped / embedded with 3 other
packages: vlc, ntopng and sysdig [1]. Once this package is included in this
archive I plan to contact the maintainers of this package to see what could be
done to depend on lua-dkjson, instead of shipping it directly with their
packages.
