JSON in Java [package org.json]
This package needs a new owner. I have not used it in over a decade, and I do
not have time to maintain programs that I do not use.
If you think you can give this package a good home, please contact me.

JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format.
See http://www.JSON.org/
The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java.
It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP
headers, Cookies, and CDL.
This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages
in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until
then, choose carefully.
The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good,
not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different
package.
The package compiles on Java 1.8.
JSONObject.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener
to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its
contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization.
JSONArray.java: The JSONObject can parse text from a String or a JSONTokener
to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating
its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.
JSONTokener.java: The JSONTokener breaks a text into a sequence of individual
tokens. It can be constructed from a String, Reader, or InputStream.
JSONException.java: The JSONException is the standard exception type thrown
by this package.
JSONString.java: The JSONString interface requires a toJSONString method,
allowing an object to provide its own serialization.
JSONStringer.java: The JSONStringer provides a convenient facility for
building JSON strings.
JSONWriter.java: The JSONWriter provides a convenient facility for building
JSON text through a writer.
CDL.java: CDL provides support for converting between JSON and comma
delimited lists.
Cookie.java: Cookie provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.
CookieList.java: CookieList provides support for converting between JSON and
cookie lists.
HTTP.java: HTTP provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.
HTTPTokener.java: HTTPTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing HTTP headers.
XML.java: XML provides support for converting between JSON and XML.
JSONML.java: JSONML provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.
XMLTokener.java: XMLTokener extends JSONTokener for parsing XML text.
