You might want to mention why someone would use this for encoding and decoding and not the standard Python package.

First, this package was written BEFORE standard python had any JSON functionality built-in. I had also helped test and fix the "competing" package too, prior to it being adopted into the standard library.

Though the standard library certainly meets most people's JSON needs these days, there are still many users of demjson to this day, mostly because it has some extended features that the the standard one does not.

FYI, I am working on a new release with lots of enhancements soon. I will try to address this more in the updated documentation.

Thanks Deron

After a long delay, I've finally released version 2.0. The updated documentation explains the history and why you should or should not use demjson.
