[erlang-questions] New project: ZJ - A tiny JSON encoder/decoder

[Michael Nisi]

Here’s how v8::JSON, the JSON parser in Node’s JavaScript engine, does it:

> JSON.stringify({})
'{}'
> JSON.stringify({ name: null })
'{"name":null}'
> JSON.stringify({ name: undefined })
'{}'
> JSON.stringify({ name: 'Lionel' })
'{"name":"Lionel"}’

> JSON.parse('{}').name
undefined
> JSON.parse('{ "name": null }').name
null

JavaScript differentiates between null and undefined, without wanting to get philosophical here.
