I was asked in private mail if there actually were any streaming JSON
parsers.  I googled for that phrase, and immediately found that
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/444380/is-there-a-streaming-api-for-json>
mentions at least eight of them:  Jackson, Json-simple, Gson, YAJL,
Clarinet, LitJSON, the JSON Streaming Parser for PHP, and Software
Monkey's parser (the last two appear not to have names).  I have not
verified this claim.

It was suggested to me that list members may not be aware of this.
