What about pecl/filter ?!
I find that much more important and useful than any
yet-another-must-have-because-it-is-sexy-and-buzzword-compliant extension..

Hey,
I think having a JSON extension for PHP is a good idea. We have written our
own implementation in PHP for framework but could definitely benefit from a C
extension down the road if it gets widely adopted.
My only concern is that this is a very new extension and I haven't seen any
docs yet. So generally speaking I'd be a +1 but I prefer to be able to first
review docs, make sure APIs are reasonable and the best they can be, and then
keep it experimental for a while to make sure it's stable (which would have
probably been the case anyway).

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.
