I don't know much about the others, but given the importance of JSON as
data exchange and serialization format, I think it's worthwhile to invest
some time here. I've implemented a wrapper around the json-c library
(license: Expat/X11/MIT), resulting in significant speedups using the test
data from https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark: a factor of 3.9
to 6.4 for parsing, and a factor of 27 to 67 for serializing. If people
agree that this is useful I can send a patch.
