  Description     : C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data

 Jansson is a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON
 data. It features simple and intuitive API and data model,
 comprehensive documentation, no dependencies on other libraries, full
 unicode support (UTF-8) and an extensive test suite.

Comments from submitter:

I looked at 3 or 4 json libraries usable from C, and jansson seemed
like the nicest, at least for generating json.

I'd consider packaging it, but the author already makes packages
available for Ubuntu, so maybe he wants to maintain them for Debian?
The current packages are CDBS, which I don't have much experience with.
