+SimpleJSON is a simple JSON library written in C++. It is designed to be simple
+to use and be cross platform.
+
+The library consists of 2 classes - JSON and JSONValue. The JSON class acts
+similar to the Javascript JSON object and contains Parse() and Stringify()
+methods for dealing with decoding and encoding JSON text. The JSONValue class
+is the class that deals with representing the various JSON values in a C++ way.
+
+Included with the source code is a demo application to give a basic example of
+how the library works and run some tests on the library. Linux users should
+just need the basic development tools installed while Windows will need VS2008
+to build the project (or be able to handle VS2008 project files).
+
+The library requires no 3rd party libraries and so can be dropped into any
+existing project effortlessly. It has been tested on Linux and Windows
+(using VS2008), if you come across any issues with using it on any system, feel
+free to contact me by visiting my site at http://mjpa.co.uk
