Description

There are a number of features and diagnostic messages that JSON can exercise, but XML doesn't. These are mostly around differences due to JSON lack of namespaces.

We need a test rig for JSON that lets you unparse from XML to data, parse from data to JSON, unparse from JSON to data, and compare to see if you get the same data.

This could be added to TDML runner as a different mode for tests. Or possibly we just want the ability to have

<tdml:infoset>
   <tdml:jsonInfoset><![CDATA[.... string of json here ...]]></tdml:jsonInfoset>
</tdml:infoset>

But it could also just be a stand alone junit-style test rig.
