Hey,
I think having a JSON extension for PHP is a good idea. We have
written our own implementation in PHP for framework but could
definitely benefit from a C extension down the road if it gets widely adopted.
My only concern is that this is a very new extension and I haven't
seen any docs yet. So generally speaking I'd be a +1 but I prefer to
be able to first review docs, make sure APIs are reasonable and the
best they can be, and then keep it experimental for a while to make
sure it's stable (which would have probably been the case anyway).

pecl/json is a rather simple extension with no external deps (it
bundles the small library it uses). The JSON format is stable with
no real possibility of changing basically by definition, and I see
its use exploding this year. There is also talk to a JSON Request
object being added to browsers and if that happens we need to
support that natively much like we support url-encoded form data
ending up directly in $_POST. I could see a $_JSON if browsers
start sending this. But, as an initial step how about we bundle
pecl/json in the next release?
There is an issue with the fact that it is LGPL'ed. But perhaps we
can work with Omar to put at least the extension part under the PHP
license when bundled with PHP.
