[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53100] implement jsondecode, jsonencode functions

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #53100 (project octave):

I agree: this should end up in Octave core, since these are core (non-toolbox)
Matlab functions. Just, uhh, gimme a moment to shake out the bugs.

Supporting multiple parser library back-ends might make this a lot more
complicated – JSON is a super simple format, and as such the parser
libraries have really simple interfaces, but they're not at all the same
interface. Writing a compatibility layer to switch between different parser
library back-ends at run- or compile-time might be more complicated than the
whole rest of this library. IMHO.

I looked at rapidjson - that looks really cool. I think I'd be down to switch
it out for JsonCpp here, if folks have a preference. But I dunno about
supporting both/either: that compatibility/flexibility would mean a lot of
code.

If people actually care, maybe I could code up an alternate version using
rapidjson and we could discuss which one we prefer, and then pick one?
