By the way, there's another JSON library:
https://github.com/talentdeficit/jsx Somebody has asked me if I plan
to add support for it.

This is actually a very easy question. It takes less that 100 lines of
code to add support for any of the above libraries/decoded formats. If
somebody has a need for it and care to write the conversion code, I'll
be happy to merge it into Erlson and extend the existing API to allow
choosing a specific JSON codec.

For those who might be interested, adding XML support would not be
substantially harder.

Mochijson2 will probably remain the default JSON library in Erlson. It
is very stable, while statuses of the other libraries are not clear to
me. At least I couldn't figure this out by looking at their project
pages.
