Bug#802263: RFP: r-cran-rjsonio - serialize R objects to JSON

[Jonathon Love]

hey,

i was originally going to package this, but it turns out it's built on
libjson, which makes it non-free:

https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil

so it can't be used with GPL code (without violating the GPL).

you might find that r-cran-rjson fits your needs - we ported all our
work across to r-cran-json with minimal difficulty.

That serveth not another's will;
Whose armour is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill

This man is freed from servile bands
Of hope to rise, or fear to fall:
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And, having nothing, yet hath all.
