NAME
     JSON Encoding and Decoding

SYNOPSYS
	 -INCLUDE 'json.sno'
	       string = JSON_ENCODE(data)
	       data = JSON_DECODE(string)

DESCRIPTION
     JSON_ENCODE(data) accepts a subset of SNOBOL4 data types:

     *	    STRING

     *	    INTEGER

     *	    REAL

     *	    ARRAY MUST be singly-dimensioned and zero-based.

     *	    TABLE

     JSON_DECODE(json_string) accepts a proper subset of JSON with the following
     limits and omissions:

     *	    arrays must have at least one item.

     *	     escapes can only be used for ASCII (00-7F) characters.

     *	    true and false are not accepted.

     NOTE!!!  JSON is defined to use UTF-8 encoding, but this is not enforced by
     this library.  To exchange binary data with other software  which	may  en-
     force use of only UTF-8 sequences, the binary strings should be encoded (eg
     with base64) to ASCII sequences.
