[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9980] JSON encoder and decoder, alternative to object2json

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #49, patch #9980 (project octave):

I have upload new 'fromJSON' and 'toJSON': "fromJSON_v2_7.m" and
"toJSON_v2_7.m"

On both, I fixed bug, tweaked feature, refactored a little to clean and speed
up the code, add more tests, and updated help text. 

In the process of fixing the bug noted before, I realize that I had
tunnel-vision in focusing on parsing numerical dataset.  As such, I made some
minor feature change in how SARRAY effects parsing arrays.  So now 'fromJSON'
can more safely parse JSON like those found in Seamonkey profile.  This is not
to say it will replicate 'jsondecode' output, but rather 'fromJSON' will not
mangle the output.

Additionally, for the naive user, I updated the HELP text to more clearly
emphasize the preferred use-case for 'fromJSON' and 'toJSON', namely the focus
on dealing with numerical arrays, Inf, and complex numbers which are neglected
by JSON spec and "other" JSON parser.
