Fork this project

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I urgently need to handle JSON in Java.  json-simple is much better than the 
alternatives because it really is simple.  The problem is that it doesn't seem 
to be being updated.  There are some great suggestions in this "issues" list 
that should be implemented.  The best option would be for the owner of this 
project to make it easy for everyone to contribute their improvements to this 
project.  If this isn't possible, I will just fork this project and create a 
json-simple2 where people will be free to make improvements.

What improvement would you like to see in this project? I can make you a 
contributor of it if would like to, so you can make improvement for this 
project directly without having to fork it.

Just looking through the issues, I think these are worth fixing:

7, 8, 15, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 41, 42, 50, 58, 63, 69, 77, 82, 84

I also see that there is already a fork:

http://code.google.com/p/json-smart/

This fork adds some complexity.  I prefer simplicity over features.

I don't think backwards compatibility is critical.  When people upgrade, they 
can fix their code as the API changes.

Hi there. I just joined this project as a contributor and am working to resolve 
some of the open issues. It sounds like you've decided creating your own fork 
of this project is the right thing for you, so I'm going to go ahead and close 
this issue.
