  Description     : Perl library for JSON serialising/deserialising

This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa. Its
primary goal is to be correct and its secondary goal is to be fast. To
reach the latter goal it was written in C.

Beginning with version 2.0 of the JSON module, when both JSON and
JSON::XS are installed, then JSON will fall back on JSON::XS (this can
be overriden) with no overhead due to emulation (by inheritign
constructor and methods). If JSON::XS is not available, it will fall
back to the compatible JSON::PP module as backend, so using JSON instead
of JSON::XS gives you a portable JSON API that can be fast when you need
and doesn't require a C compiler when that is a problem.
