The gawk-json module provides a gawk extension library that uses RapidJSON to implement functions mapping between gawk associative arrays and JSON.

============================
This is the json extension. It dumps a gawk multidimensional array
to a JSON object and reads a JSON object, recreating an equivalent
array.
You will need the gawkapi.h file from gawk 4.2.1 or later.
Note that this extension won't work with the gawkapi.h from 4.1.x; that file uses at least one C++ keyword as a parameter name.
You will also need to have rapidJson installed where the compiler can find it.
Additionally, this extension now expects the gawk namespace facility; you will get something different on gawk 4.2.
For documentation, see the man page.
For example usage, see test/json.awk.
