pecl/json is a rather simple extension with no external deps (it bundles
the small library it uses). The JSON format is stable with no real
possibility of changing basically by definition, and I see its use
exploding this year. There is also talk to a JSON Request object being
added to browsers and if that happens we need to support that natively
much like we support url-encoded form data ending up directly in $_POST.
I could see a $_JSON if browsers start sending this. But, as an
initial step how about we bundle pecl/json in the next release?
There is an issue with the fact that it is LGPL'ed. But perhaps we can
work with Omar to put at least the extension part under the PHP license
when bundled with PHP.
