JSON.lua

----

This project was originally created by Jeffrey Friedl: http://regex.info/blog/lua/json

This repo is forked for LuaRocks.

### Usage

By running Luarocks you will actually get a `/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/JSON.lua`.

```

luarocks install json-lua

```

And then you may import code like this:

```lua

JSON = require("JSON")

inspect = require("inspect")

local raw_json_text = "[1,2,[3,4]]"

local lua_value = JSON:decode(raw_json_text) -- decode example

local raw_json_text    = JSON:encode(lua_value)        -- encode example

local pretty_json_text = JSON:encode_pretty(lua_value) -- "pretty printed" version

print(inspect(lua_value))

print(inspect(raw_json_text))

print(inspect(pretty_json_text))

```

Output:

```kua

{ 1, 2, { 3, 4 } }

"[1,2,[3,4]]"

"[ 1, 2, [ 3, 4 ] ]"

```

Notice that `encode_pretty` is not indented style. And it's a bug need to be fixed.

### array_newline option

```lua

local pretty_json_text = JSON:encode_pretty(lua_value, nil, 

           { pretty = true, align_keys = false, array_newline = true, indent = "|   " })

print(pretty_json_text)

```

Output:

```kua

[

|   1,

|   2,

|   [

|   |   3,

|   |   4

|   ]

]

```
