Re: Parsing JSON in C++

[Owen Lamb]

There are just three files, so I'll go ahead and put them in flower/.

One more minor thing--the files are .cpp and .h, which is a bit confusing
given they're not our standard extensions. Is it all right if I change the
extensions to .cc and .hh to match the rest of the files?

Thanks,
Owen
