-                       Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-                       59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-                            Preamble
-
-  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
-  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
-  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
-  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
-  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-    parties under the terms of this License.
-
-    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
-  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-    customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
-    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-    received the program in object code or executable form with such
-    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
-  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
-  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
-  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
-  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
-  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
-  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-                            NO WARRANTY
-
-  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
-    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-
-    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
-    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
-    (at your option) any later version.
-
-    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
-    GNU General Public License for more details.
-
-    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
-    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
-    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
-
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
-    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
-    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
-    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
-  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
-  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
-  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
-  Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
-Public License instead of this License.

-= JSON implementation for Ruby {<img src="https://secure.travis-ci.org/flori/json.png" />}[http://travis-ci.org/flori/json]
-
-== Description
-
-This is a implementation of the JSON specification according to RFC 4627
-http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt . Starting from version 1.0.0 on there
-will be two variants available:
-
-* A pure ruby variant, that relies on the iconv and the stringscan
-  extensions, which are both part of the ruby standard library.
-* The quite a bit faster C extension variant, which is in parts implemented
-  in C and comes with its own unicode conversion functions and a parser
-  generated by the ragel state machine compiler
-  http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel .
-
-Both variants of the JSON generator generate UTF-8 character sequences by
-default. If an :ascii_only option with a true value is given, they escape all
-non-ASCII and control characters with \uXXXX escape sequences, and support
-UTF-16 surrogate pairs in order to be able to generate the whole range of
-unicode code points.
-
-All strings, that are to be encoded as JSON strings, should be UTF-8 byte
-sequences on the Ruby side. To encode raw binary strings, that aren't UTF-8
-encoded, please use the to_json_raw_object method of String (which produces
-an object, that contains a byte array) and decode the result on the receiving
-endpoint.
-
-The JSON parsers can parse UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, and UTF-32LE
-JSON documents under Ruby 1.8. Under Ruby 1.9 they take advantage of Ruby's
-M17n features and can parse all documents which have the correct
-String#encoding set. If a document string has ASCII-8BIT as an encoding the
-parser attempts to figure out which of the UTF encodings from above it is and
-trys to parse it.
-
-== Installation
-
-It's recommended to use the extension variant of JSON, because it's faster than
-the pure ruby variant. If you cannot build it on your system, you can settle
-for the latter.
-
-Just type into the command line as root:
-
-  # rake install
-
-The above command will build the extensions and install them on your system.
-
-  # rake install_pure
-
-or
-
-  # ruby install.rb
-
-will just install the pure ruby implementation of JSON.
-
-If you use Rubygems you can type
-
-  # gem install json
-
-instead, to install the newest JSON version.
-
-There is also a pure ruby json only variant of the gem, that can be installed
-with:
-
-  # gem install json_pure
-
-== Compiling the extensions yourself
-
-If you want to build the extensions yourself you need rake:
-
-  You can get it from rubyforge:
-    http://rubyforge.org/projects/rake
-
-  or just type
-
-  # gem install rake
-
-  for the installation via rubygems.
-
-If you want to create the parser.c file from its parser.rl file or draw nice
-graphviz images of the state machines, you need ragel from: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel
-
-
-== Usage
-
-To use JSON you can
-  require 'json'
-to load the installed variant (either the extension 'json' or the pure
-variant 'json_pure'). If you have installed the extension variant, you can
-pick either the extension variant or the pure variant by typing
-  require 'json/ext'
-or
-  require 'json/pure'
-
-Now you can parse a JSON document into a ruby data structure by calling
-
-  JSON.parse(document)
-
-If you want to generate a JSON document from a ruby data structure call
-  JSON.generate(data)
-
-You can also use the pretty_generate method (which formats the output more
-verbosely and nicely) or fast_generate (which doesn't do any of the security
-checks generate performs, e. g. nesting deepness checks).
-
-To create a valid JSON document you have to make sure, that the output is
-embedded in either a JSON array [] or a JSON object {}. The easiest way to do
-this, is by putting your values in a Ruby Array or Hash instance.
-
-There are also the JSON and JSON[] methods which use parse on a String or
-generate a JSON document from an array or hash:
-
-  document = JSON 'test'  => 23 # => "{\"test\":23}"
-  document = JSON['test'] => 23 # => "{\"test\":23}"
-
-and
-
-  data = JSON '{"test":23}'  # => {"test"=>23}
-  data = JSON['{"test":23}'] # => {"test"=>23}
-
-You can choose to load a set of common additions to ruby core's objects if
-you
-  require 'json/add/core'
-
-After requiring this you can, e. g., serialise/deserialise Ruby ranges:
-
-  JSON JSON(1..10) # => 1..10
-
-To find out how to add JSON support to other or your own classes, read the
-section "More Examples" below.
-
-To get the best compatibility to rails' JSON implementation, you can
-  require 'json/add/rails'
-
-Both of the additions attempt to require 'json' (like above) first, if it has
-not been required yet.
-
-== More Examples
-
-To create a JSON document from a ruby data structure, you can call
-JSON.generate like that:
-
- json = JSON.generate [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
- # => "[1,2,{\"a\":3.141},false,true,null,\"4..10\"]"
-
-To get back a ruby data structure from a JSON document, you have to call
-JSON.parse on it:
-
- JSON.parse json
- # => [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, "4..10"]
-
-Note, that the range from the original data structure is a simple
-string now. The reason for this is, that JSON doesn't support ranges
-or arbitrary classes. In this case the json library falls back to call
-Object#to_json, which is the same as #to_s.to_json.
-
-It's possible to add JSON support serialization to arbitrary classes by
-simply implementing a more specialized version of the #to_json method, that
-should return a JSON object (a hash converted to JSON with #to_json) like
-this (don't forget the *a for all the arguments):
-
- class Range
-   def to_json(*a)
-     {
-       'json_class'   => self.class.name, # = 'Range'
-       'data'         => [ first, last, exclude_end? ]
-     }.to_json(*a)
-   end
- end
-
-The hash key 'json_class' is the class, that will be asked to deserialise the
-JSON representation later. In this case it's 'Range', but any namespace of
-the form 'A::B' or '::A::B' will do. All other keys are arbitrary and can be
-used to store the necessary data to configure the object to be deserialised.
-
-If a the key 'json_class' is found in a JSON object, the JSON parser checks
-if the given class responds to the json_create class method. If so, it is
-called with the JSON object converted to a Ruby hash. So a range can
-be deserialised by implementing Range.json_create like this:
-
- class Range
-   def self.json_create(o)
-     new(*o['data'])
-   end
- end
-
-Now it possible to serialise/deserialise ranges as well:
-
- json = JSON.generate [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
- # => "[1,2,{\"a\":3.141},false,true,null,{\"json_class\":\"Range\",\"data\":[4,10,false]}]"
- JSON.parse json
- # => [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
-
-JSON.generate always creates the shortest possible string representation of a
-ruby data structure in one line. This is good for data storage or network
-protocols, but not so good for humans to read. Fortunately there's also
-JSON.pretty_generate (or JSON.pretty_generate) that creates a more readable
-output:
-
- puts JSON.pretty_generate([1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10])
- [
-   1,
-   2,
-   {
-     "a": 3.141
-   },
-   false,
-   true,
-   null,
-   {
-     "json_class": "Range",
-     "data": [
-       4,
-       10,
-       false
-     ]
-   }
- ]
-
-There are also the methods Kernel#j for generate, and Kernel#jj for
-pretty_generate output to the console, that work analogous to Core Ruby's p and
-the pp library's pp methods.
-
-The script tools/server.rb contains a small example if you want to test, how
-receiving a JSON object from a webrick server in your browser with the
-javasript prototype library http://www.prototypejs.org works.
-
-== Speed Comparisons
-
-I have created some benchmark results (see the benchmarks/data-p4-3Ghz
-subdir of the package) for the JSON-parser to estimate the speed up in the C
-extension:
-
- Comparing times (call_time_mean):
-  1 ParserBenchmarkExt#parser   900 repeats:
-        553.922304770 (  real) ->   21.500x

-In the table above 1 is JSON::Ext::Parser, 2 is YAML.load with YAML
-compatbile JSON document, 3 is is JSON::Pure::Parser, and 4 is
-ActiveSupport::JSON.decode. The ActiveSupport JSON-decoder converts the
-input first to YAML and then uses the YAML-parser, the conversion seems to
-slow it down so much that it is only as fast as the JSON::Pure::Parser!
-
-If you look at the benchmark data you can see that this is mostly caused by
-the frequent high outliers - the median of the Rails-parser runs is still
-overall smaller than the median of the JSON::Pure::Parser runs:

-I have benchmarked the JSON-Generator as well. This generated a few more
-values, because there are different modes that also influence the achieved
-speed:

-In the table above 1-3 are JSON::Ext::Generator methods. 4, 6, and 7 are
-JSON::Pure::Generator methods and 5 is the Rails JSON generator. It is now a
-bit faster than the generator_safe and generator_pretty methods of the pure
-variant but slower than the others.
-
-To achieve the fastest JSON document output, you can use the fast_generate
-method. Beware, that this will disable the checking for circular Ruby data
-structures, which may cause JSON to go into an infinite loop.
