I'm not Chad, but what's wrong with test/src/json-tests.el?

I hope nothing, because that's what I was going to suggest. :-)

I also note that there is some #ifdef WINDOWSNT code in src/json.c that checks for the jansson library near the top of DEFUN ("json-serialize"... that suggests it will signal a useful error if it can't find the library, and json-serialize is heavily exercised in test/src/json-tests.el, so as a specific check, "cd tests; make json-tests" should do the job.

Hope that helps,
