;;; Commentary:
;; This is a library for parsing and generating JSON (JavaScript Object
;; Notation).
;; Learn all about JSON here: <URL:http://json.org/>.
;; The user-serviceable entry points for the parser are the functions
;; `json-read' and `json-read-from-string'. The encoder has a single
;; entry point, `json-encode'.
;; Since there are several natural representations of key-value pair
;; mappings in elisp (alist, plist, hash-table), `json-read' allows you
;; to specify which you'd prefer (see `json-object-type' and
;; `json-array-type').
;; Similarly, since `false' and `null' are distinct in JSON, you can
;; distinguish them by binding `json-false' and `json-null' as desired.
;;; History:
;; 2006-03-11 - Initial version.
;; 2006-03-13 - Added JSON generation in addition to parsing. Various
;; other cleanups, bugfixes, and improvements.
;; 2006-12-29 - XEmacs support, from Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>.
;; 2008-02-21 - Installed in GNU Emacs.

;; Parameters
(defvar json-object-type 'alist
"Type to convert JSON objects to.
Must be one of `alist', `plist', or `hash-table'. Consider let-binding
this around your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")
(defvar json-array-type 'vector
"Type to convert JSON arrays to.
Must be one of `vector' or `list'. Consider let-binding this around
your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")
(defvar json-key-type nil
"Type to convert JSON keys to.
Must be one of `string', `symbol', `keyword', or nil.
If nil, `json-read' will guess the type based on the value of
`json-object-type':
If `json-object-type' is: nil will be interpreted as:
`hash-table' `string'
`alist' `symbol'
`plist' `keyword'
Note that values other than `string' might behave strangely for
Sufficiently Weird keys. Consider let-binding this around your call to
`json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")
(defvar json-false :json-false
"Value to use when reading JSON `false'.
If this has the same value as `json-null', you might not be able to tell
the difference between `false' and `null'. Consider let-binding this
around your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")
(defvar json-null nil

If this has the same value as `json-false', you might not be able to
tell the difference between `false' and `null'. Consider let-binding
