==========
-This extension implements the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
-data-interchange format as specified in [0].
-
-Two functions are implemented: encoding and decoding. The decoding
-is handled by a parser based on JSON_checker[1] by Douglas Crockford.
-
-
-Function overview
------------------
-
- string json_encode ( mixed value )
-
-json_encode returns a string containing the JSON representation of value.
-value can be any type except a resource.
-
- mixed json_decode ( string json, [bool assoc] )
-
-json_decode takes a JSON string and converts it into a PHP variable.
-When assoc is given, and evaluates to TRUE, json_decode() will return
-any objects as associative arrays.
-
-
-Example usage
--------------
-$arr = array("a"=>1,"b"=>2,"c"=>3,"d"=>4,"e"=>5);
-echo json_encode($arr);
-
----> {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}
-
-$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
-var_dump(json_decode($json));
-
----> object(stdClass)#1 (5) {
- ["a"]=>
- int(1)
- ["b"]=>
- int(2)
- ["c"]=>
- int(3)
- ["d"]=>
- int(4)
- ["e"]=>
- int(5)
- }
-
-$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
-var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
-
----> array(5) {
- ["a"]=>
- int(1)
- ["b"]=>
- int(2)
- ["c"]=>
- int(3)
- ["d"]=>
- int(4)
- ["e"]=>
- int(5)
- }

+The parser is implemented using re2c and Bison. The used versions
+of both tools for generating files in the repository are following:
