  Description     : GNU R package "RJSONIO: Serialize R objects to JSON"

This is a package that allows conversion to and from data in Javascript object
notation (JSON) format. This allows R objects to be inserted into
Javascript/ECMAScript/ActionScript code and allows R programmers to read and
convert JSON content to R objects. This is an alternative to rjson package.
This package uses methods, vectorized operations and C code and callbacks to R
functions for deserializing JSON objects to R. Version 0.4 of this package uses
a new native parser, implements the transformation code in C and allocates
memory efficiently (rather than concatenating because of event driven parsing).
The result is a significantly faster parsing of large JSON documents.
