Your package conflicts with LuaJSON package "customizable JSON
decoder/encoder" [1] [2], which is one of the most popular Lua
packages according to [3]. This packages provides module "json" as
well as your package. That is why they can't be used together.

BTW, there are other Lua modules for JSON encoding/decoding: DKJSON,
Lua YAJL. I found comparison of modules DKJSON, Lua YAJL and cJSON
[4].
