+(ECMA-262 3rd edition) used as a lightweight data interchange format.
+
+Simplejson exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library marshal
+and pickle modules. It is the externally maintained version of the json
+library contained in Python 2.6, but maintains compatibility with Python 2.5
+and (currently) has significant performance advantages, even without using
+the optional C extension for speedups. Simplejson is also supported on
+Python 3.3+.")
