[erlang-questions] Which Erlang JSON parser?

[Filipe David Manana]

You also have this event oriented (optionally) parser:

http://github.com/Damienkatz/json_stream_parse

The Erlang structures it returns after parsing are 100% equivalent to
those of Mochiweb's JSON parser.
It's fully written in Erlang.
