### Module: json

The JSON module adds support for serializing JavaScript objects into JSON strings and parsing JavaScript objects from strings in JSON format.

The JSON namespace is added to your YUI instance including static methods Y.JSON.parse(..) and Y.JSON.stringify(..).

The functionality and method signatures follow the ECMAScript 5 specification. In browsers with native JSON support, the native implementation is used.

The `json` module is a rollup of `json-parse` and `json-stringify`.

As their names suggest, `json-parse` adds support for parsing JSON data (Y.JSON.parse) and `json-stringify` for serializing JavaScript data into JSON strings (Y.JSON.stringify). You may choose to include either of the submodules individually if you don't need the complementary functionality, or include the rollup for both.

This module contains the following classes:

- JSON

#### Submodules:

`json-parse`
  Provides Y.JSON.parse method to accept JSON strings and return native JavaScript objects.
`json-stringify`
  Provides Y.JSON.stringify method for converting objects to JSON strings.
