There's no repository, there's no mention of it in the author's blog, it 
has seen six changes in two years according to the file's heading.  The 
only reference on da Internet is at 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/json/message/928.

On the other hand, it's down to the point (it has no object model of 
it's own), and it is fully asynchronous since it works 
character-by-character which makes it easier to extend as in my patch above.
