Thank you for sharing this!

BTW, I've just noticed that it introduces extra spaces into the
resulting JSON when encoding stuffs, for example

local cjson = require 'cjson'
print(cjson.encode({dog=3}))

and the output is

{ "dog": 3 }

Please note the extra spaces among tokens. I don't find any option to
disable that and it seems to me that the extra spaces are hard-coded
by looking at the C source. It'll be a (small) waste of bandwidth for
web applications. Am I missing something here?

Your cjson library makes me less motivated to introduce a native JSON
encoder/decoder in our ngx_lua nginx module ;)

Thanks!
