+     "The jsonlite package provides a fast JSON parser and generator optimized
+for statistical data and the web.  It offers flexible, robust, high
+performance tools for working with JSON in R and is particularly powerful for
+building pipelines and interacting with a web API.  In addition to converting
+JSON data from/to R objects, jsonlite contains functions to stream, validate,
+and prettify JSON data.  The unit tests included with the package verify that
+all edge cases are encoded and decoded consistently for use with dynamic data
+in systems and applications.")
