+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This is a library for parsing and generating JSON (JavaScript Object
+;; Notation).
+
+;; Learn all about JSON here: <URL:http://json.org/>.
+
+;; The user-serviceable entry points for the parser are the functions
+;; `json-read' and `json-read-from-string'. The encoder has a single
+;; entry point, `json-encode'.
+
+;; Since there are several natural representations of key-value pair
+;; mappings in elisp (alist, plist, hash-table), `json-read' allows you
+;; to specify which you'd prefer (see `json-object-type' and
+;; `json-array-type').
+
+;; Similarly, since `false' and `null' are distinct in JSON, you can
+;; distinguish them by binding `json-false' and `json-null' as desired.
+
+;;; History:
+
+;; 2006-03-11 - Initial version.
+;; 2006-03-13 - Added JSON generation in addition to parsing. Various
+;; other cleanups, bugfixes, and improvements.
+;; 2006-12-29 - XEmacs support, from Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>.
+;; 2008-02-21 - Installed in GNU Emacs.
