Hi there,

I was unable to see where it's actually used. Is the dependency really needed?

Best,

Tobias

bson_ext is used by Mongo, redis probably to for faster binary json data manipulation

yeah i know bson_ext. But I don't understand why fnord has a dependency on that. It is not needed and one of the reasons why fnord won't run on jruby.

yajl-ruby and thin are also c-based; problematic for JRuby implementation. It seems like Either a JRuby fork of fnordmetric or a new project would have to crop up to get JVM support.

that is right! json is not a big problem. my question why there is a need for bson is still not answered though :)

I don't see that dependency now. Can this issue be closed?
