## This module implements a simple high performance `JSON`:idx:
## parser. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight 
## data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write 
## (unlike XML). It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
## JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language,
## Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999.
