[Building Sakai] JSON

[Hedrick Charles]

I've started experimenting with JSON for persisting data that doesn't need to appear in queries. A number of Sakai applications use XML for this. I find the JSON is more compact and way it's organized results in significantly simpler code. However I have to do some weirdness because there's no JSON library in shared. It might be a good idea to put something there. I'm currently using simple-JSON, but I haven't investigated the alternatives.
