+json 1.2.0
+==========
+
+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)
+     }
