I think JSON is considered to be somewhat similar to XML, so I'm imagining a
SAX-type approach similar to the current XML library.  This can be easily done
using the "yajl" library, which uses a SAX streaming approach.

It should then be possible to layer on top an awk library to load the JSON data
into an array, if the user prefers a DOM approach.
