[Thomas Harning <harningt@...>]

(Sorry if this turns out to be a dupe... it seems the original message  
might have never made it to the list as its not in the recent  
archives, nor have I received it)

I just released luajson 0.9 on LuaForge [1] with its source repository  
on repo.or.cz [2].  In short it's a customizable JSON parser/encoder  
for Lua.  Licensed under MIT-style license.

It uses LPEG for the parser portion which makes it highly customizable  
AND fast.

Basic featureset:
* Supports decoding JSON w/ varying dialect strictness.
  * NaN/Infinite, null, undefined, being allowed or not
  * Hex digit support
  * How to handle unknown escape sequences (pass-through character or  
abort)
* Supports encoding non-recursive Lua tables, and attempts to  
reconcile whether a table is array or not
* Handle null and undefined values in custom ways... use actual 'nil'  
or constants for round-tripping

Future items:
* Handle custom 'function' calls to process values
* Handle custom encoding items (such as to round-trip a function call  
element)
* Custom encoding mechanisms
* Integration with proper/custom unicode handler
* Luarocks spec

Items that could use help:
* Best way to build output text
* Best way to handle unicode
* Best way to handle the null/undefined values
* Best way to detect/mark arrays vs objects at encoding/decoding-point
