Fix uescapes for combining characters I had a silly direction mistake in a bit shift that was causing the high portion of all combining characters to be printed as \uD800 which is obviously wrong. This bug only affects people using the non-default uescape option during encoding.
A JSON parser as a NIF. This is a complete rewrite of the work I did in EEP0018 that was based on Yajl. This new version is a hand crafted state machine that does its best to be as quick and efficient as possible while not placing any constraints on the parsed JSON.
Jiffy is a simple API. The only thing that might catch you off guard is that the return type of jiffy:encode/1 is an iolist even though it returns a binary most of the time.
A quick note on unicode. Jiffy only understands utf-8 in binaries. End of story. Also, there is a jiffy:encode/2 that takes a list of options for encoding. Currently the only supported option is uescape.
Errors are raised as exceptions.

1> jiffy:decode(<<"{\"foo\": \"bar\"}">>).
{[{<<"foo">>,<<"bar">>}]}
2> Doc = {[{foo, [<<"bing">>, 2.3, true]}]}.
{[{foo,[<<"bing">>,2.3,true]}]}
3> jiffy:encode(Doc).
<<"{\"foo\":[\"bing\",2.2999999999999998224,true]}">>

Jiffy should be in all ways an improvemnt over EEP0018. It no longer imposes limits on the nesting depth. It is capable of encoding and decoding large numbers and it does quite a bit more checking for validity of valid UTF-8 in strings.
