+ Why the Simple Java toolkit (also named as JSON.simple) for JSON?
+ When I use JSON as the data exchange format between the AJAX client and JSP
+ for the first time, what worry me mostly is how to encode Java strings and
+ numbers correctly in the server side so the AJAX client will receive a well
+ formed JSON data. When I looked into the 'JSON in Java' directory in JSON
+ website,I found that wrappers to JSONObject and JSONArray can be simpler,
+ due to the simplicity of JSON itself. So I wrote the JSON.simple package.
