 Usage:

 -- Lua script:
 local t = { 
	["name1"] = "value1",
	["name2"] = {1, false, true, 23.54, "a \021 string"},
	name3 = Json.Null() 
 }

 local json = Json.Encode (t)
 print (json) 
 --> {"name1":"value1","name3":null,"name2":[1,false,true,23.54,"a \u0015 string"]}

 local t = Json.Decode(json)
 print(t.name2[4])
 --> 23.54
 
 Notes:
 1) Encodable Lua types: string, number, boolean, table, nil
 2) Use Json.Null() to insert a null value into a Json object
 3) All control chars are encoded to \uXXXX format eg "\021" encodes to "\u0015"
 4) All Json \uXXXX chars are decoded to chars (0-255 byte range only)
 5) Json single line // and /* */ block comments are discarded during decoding
 6) Numerically indexed Lua arrays are encoded to Json Lists eg [1,2,3]
 7) Lua dictionary tables are converted to Json objects eg {"one":1,"two":2}
 8) Json nulls are decoded to Lua nil and treated by Lua in the normal way
