This is an enhanced version of python-cjson, the fast JSON encoder/decoder.
Qiangning Hong submitted a patch to fix segfault with Python 2.5 on 64 bit platforms. Version python-cjson 1.0.3x2 released to incorporate this patch. It's numbered 1.0.3x, where x stands for eXtension. The main improvement is the ability to extend the JSON encoder and decoder with extensions functions to serialize/unserialize objects not in the original JSON specification. This is achieved without sacrificing the speed and stability of the original implementation. Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and do not contact the original author (Dan Pascu) about this version.
