+This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa.
+Its primary goal is to be correct and its secondary goal is to be
+fast. To reach the latter goal it was written in C.
+
+As this is the n-th-something JSON module on CPAN, what was the
+reason to write yet another JSON module? While it seems there are
+many JSON modules, none of them correctly handle all corner cases,
+and in most cases their maintainers are unresponsive, gone missing,
+or not listening to bug reports for other reasons.
