QuarkJSON

Native C JSON parser, emphasized on performance and system resource efficiency.

• !!!!! right now the parser only parses booleans, strings, numbers, and JSONObjects !!!!!

Etymology

QuarkJSON's name is heavily influenced by the subatomic particle; the Quark makes up every thing. JSON pretty much makes up everything on server API's.

Philosophy

Maximize performance and efficiency to the point in which the CPU is no longer the bottleneck.
