rfc4627.erl uses {obj, [{Key, Value}, ...]}.

Personally, I'm in favour of the uniform option {[{Key, Value}, ...]}, 
with the empty object being {[]}. It permits uniform treatment of the 
list of key-value pairs without a gratuitous special case. I find myself 
reading it as if JSON objects are delimited by a new kind of brackets, 
"{[" and "]}".
