Description

Jiffy is a NIF for JSON serialization. I wrote it quite a while ago but have finally gotten around to writing the integration for CouchDB. This is a direct replacement for ejson which does much less parsing in C. Jiffy is as close to mochijson2 (with our custom objects) as humanly possible. At the moment there are no known differences in output. Jiffy itself has been tested fairly extensively by a couple different groups so I'm fairly confident there aren't any major bugs left.
