The aim of the Json4s project is to provide a common API for
Scala JSON libraries.  It is Apache-licensed, easier for
downstream distributions to package, and mostly API-compatible
with lift-json.  Furthermore, the Jackson-backed implementation
parses faster than lift-json on all but the smallest inputs.
