+ Json.NET makes working with JSON formatted data in .NET
+ simple. Quickly read and write JSON using LINQ to JSON or serialize
+ your .NET objects with a single method call using the JsonSerializer.</p>
+ <h3>
+ Features</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Flexible JSON serializer to convert .NET objects to JSON and back again</li>
+ <li>LINQ to JSON for reading and writing JSON</li>
+ <li>Writes indented, easy to read JSON</li>
+ <li>Convert JSON to and from XML</li>
+ <li>Supports Silverlight and the Compact Framework</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>The JSON serializer is a good choice when the JSON you are reading or writing maps closely
+ to a .NET class. The serializer automatically reads and writes JSON for the class.</p>
+ <p class="MsoNormal">
+ For situations where you are only interested in getting values from JSON, don't
+ have a class to serialize or deserialize to, or the JSON is radically different
+ from your class and you need to manually read and write from your objects then
+ LINQ to JSON is what you should use. LINQ to JSON allows you to easily read,
+ create and modify JSON in .NET.</p>
+ <h3>
+ History</h3>
+ <p>
+ Json.NET grew out of projects I was working on in late 2005 involving JavaScript,
+ AJAX and .NET. At the time there were no libraries for working with JavaScript in
+ .NET so I began to grow my own.</p>
+ <p>
+ Starting out as a couple of static methods for escaping JavaScript strings, Json.NET
+ evolved as features were added. To add support for reading JSON a major refactor
+ was required and Json.NET will split into the three major classes it still uses
+ today, JsonReader, JsonWriter and JsonSerializer.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Json.NET was first released in June 2006. Since then Json.NET has been downloaded
+ thousands of times by developers and is used in a number of major projects open
+ source projects including <a href="http://www.castleproject.org/monorail/index.html" target="_blank">MonoRail</a>,
+ Castle Project's MVC web framework, and <a href="http://www.mono-project.com/" target="_blank">Mono</a>,
+ an open source implementation
+ of the .NET framework.</p>
