**This library is no longer maintained.** JSON encoder/decoder compatible with PHP 5.1.3 and above. This library will use PHP's builtin [`json_encode()`](http://php.net/json_encode) and [`json_decode()`](http://php.net/json_decode) when available.

```
$input   = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3);
$encoder = new ehough_jameson_impl_FastEncoder();  //implements ehough_jameson_api_Encoder
$decoder = new ehough_jameson_impl_FastDecoder();  //implements ehough_jameson_api_Decoder
$asJson  = $encoder->encode($input);               //{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3}
$result  = $decoder->decode($asJson);              //array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3);
