OK, we really need to stop being abstract and say what operations we want.
I think the minimal functionality I'd want is:
convert record to JSON convert JSON to record extract a value, or set of values, from JSON composition of
JSON
Now all the libraries I have looked at (briefly) would require some code
to provide for those, possibly quite a bit of code, but that doesn't
mean we should just start from scratch and write our own JSON parser too.
