+JSON in Java [package org.json]

+
+
+JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format.
+See http://www.JSON.org/
+
+The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java. 
+It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP 
+headers, Cookies, and CDL. 
+
+This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages
+in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until 
+then, choose carefully.
+
+The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good, 
+not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different
+package.
+
+The package compiles on Java 1.2 thru Java 1.4.
+
+
+JSONObject.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener
+to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods of manipulating its
+contents, and for producing a JSON compliant serialization.
+
+JSONArray.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener
+to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods of manipulating 
+its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant serialization.
+
+JSONTokenizer.java: The JSONTokener breaks a text into a sequence of individual
+tokens. It can be constructed from a String,Reader, or InputStream.
+
+JSONException.java: The JSONException is the standard exception type thrown
+by this package.
+
+
+JSONString.java: The JSONString interface requires a toJSONString method, 
+allowing an object to provide its own serialization.
+
+JSONStringer.java: The JSONStringer provides a convenient facility for 
+building JSON strings.
+
+JSONWriter.java: The JSONWriter provides a convenient facility for building 
+JSON text through a writer.
+ 
+
+CDL.java: CDL provides support for converting between JSON and comma
+delimited lists.
+
+Cookie.java: Cookie provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.
+
+CookieList.java: CookieList provides support for converting between JSON and
+cookie lists.
+
+HTTP.java: HTTP provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.
+
+HTTPTokener.java: HTTPTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing HTTP headers.
+
+XML.java: XML provides support for converting between JSON and XML.
+
+JSONML.java: JSONML provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.
+
+XMLTokener.java: XMLTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing XML text.
