Atul originally placed jsen under the Libraries -> JSON/XML, and I
suggested him to put it under the Javascript libraries.

If it's indeed a NodeJS package, then comes the question of how we are
going to package those zillions of modules. Today, one can request any
random NodeJS module to be installed using
BR2_PACKAGE_NODEJS_MODULES_ADDITIONAL (which is simple, but obviously
circumvents completely the download and legal infrastructures of
Buildroot).

Atul, are you using jsen in the context of NodeJS ? If not, in which
context are you using it ?

Thanks!
