Open JSON

This code is extracted from the Android project to allow a clean-room implementation of the popular JSON API to be available under a free license as a small and independent dependency.

The original library [1] is licensed under a standard BSD license [2] with an additional line that requires the use of the software only for "non-evil" purposes. Since this is ill-defined, many downstream consumers of this software find this license condition unacceptable. The moral is don't put jokes into legal documents.

Going forward, it would be good to look at the independent open-json project[3]. The goals of that project go beyond the original goals for a drop-on replacement for the original json.org library.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to the Android team for doing 99% of the work.

Thanks also to Simon Lessard for lending his critical eye and excellent suggestions.

Thanks to Tobias Soloschenko and Martin Grigorov with suggestions so open-json can help Wicket avoid the problem.
