[erlang-questions] SAX-like JSON Parser for Erlang

[Michel Rijnders]

Yep, I was recently looking into this because I'm writing a library that
will provide XPath like querying for JSON. The only thing RFC 4627 (JSON)
says is: ""The names within an object SHOULD be unique." But this is
"should" in the sense of RFC 2119, i.e. it means "recommended"...
