+ <longdescription lang="en">
+ This module implements a very fast JSON encoder/decoder for Python.
+
+ JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a text based
+ lightweight data exchange format which is easy for humans to
+ read/write and for machines to parse/generate. JSON is completely
+ language independent and has multiple implementations in most of
+ the programming languages, making it ideal for data exchange and
+ storage.
+
+ The module is written in C and it is up to 250 times faster when
+ compared to the other python JSON implementations which are written
+ directly in python. This speed gain varies with the complexity of
+ the data and the operation and is the the range of 10-200 times for
+ encoding operations and in the range of 100-250 times for decoding
+ operations.
