This module strives to prepare an EEP0018 implemenation. It implements most of the functionality described there, with some additional features. YAJL ==== The parsing engine that drives behind that module is YAJL, see http://lloydforge.org/projects/yajl/. The source tree contains a copy of that library, currently at version 0.4.0. Differences to EEP 18 ======================= EEP 18's json_to_term function defines parsing of JSON objects. As CouchDB needs a JSON parser that is able to parse JSON values this implementation adds this functionality. Implemenation Status ==================== The current development is done on OS/X 10.5. Other OSes might need a tuned Makefile. Critical Discussion =================== For a critical discussion of JSON <-> Erlang interaction see here: http://fullof.bs/prototype-eep-18-considered-harmful-the-problems-with-erlang-to-json-term-translation#more-402 and http://sc.tri-bit.com/outgoing/scjson%20parser%20halp.html
