Years ago I started an comparison of JSON modules at
<http://lua-users.org/wiki/JsonModules>.  It is quite out of date by now
as I didn't find the time yet to update it.

The purpose of my module was to provide a correct, single file JSON
module written in pure Lua without dependencies.  So it should be
possible to use it in contexts where you can use neither JSON modules in
C nor LPeg.  (But it is faster when LPeg is available).

A module written in C would be a lot faster, but you need to compile it
first.

I hope I will find the time to update the comparison.  I will probably
include a section about encoding and decoding numbers in different
locales, I suspect that my module was not the only one suffering from that.

Best regards,
