====== kmj-json ======

The kmj-json package provides a JSON codec.

The runtime provides this library through the [[https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#luaL_newlib|luaL_newlib]] auxiliary library function, so all fields can be assumed to be functions.

===== decode =====

The decode field contains a function for decoding a JSON encoded type.

==== Syntax ====

  decode(input: string): (output: any)

==== Arguments ====

  - The first argument should contain the JSON encoded representation of a type.

==== Returns ====

  - The first return value will be the decoded Lua equivalent value type of the given JSON, or ''nil'' if the input could not be interpreted successfully.

===== encode =====

The encode field contains a function for encoding a Lua value into a JSON encoded type.

==== Syntax ====

  encode(input: any): (output: string|nil)

==== Arguments ====

  - The first argument should contain the Lua value that should be JSON encoded. Accepted Lua types are //nil//, //boolean//, //number//, //string// and //table//.

==== Returns ====

  - The first return value will be the JSON encoded representation of the given input, or a Lua ''nil'' if an unsupported value such as //function//, //userdata// or //thread// was given.
