JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. Json-lib is easy for machines to parse and generate.

It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.

These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. This library is based on the work by Douglas Crockford in http://www.json.org/java , adding support for java arrays and object graphs. With this library it is possible to transform the following java structures to JSON: java beans, java arrays, collections, maps; composites of the 4 previous types.

The main driver for this library is to provide the means to transform data between a server and an AJAX enabled application.
