Is there any chance to use rjson instead of RJSONIO in googleVis

[Markus Gesmann]

Hi Andreas,

I haven't published the new version on CRAN yet, as I hoped you would test the package beforehand. 

Can you do that?  

I would hate to make the change to jsonlite if anything would stop working as a result of this. 

Best regards 

Markus
