JSON -- JSON encoding and decoding

Description

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a common data interchange format. This package provides two methods, toJSON and fromJSON, for converting Macaulay2 things to valid JSON data and vice versa.

i1 : toJSON {hashTable{"foo" => "bar"}, 1, 3.14159, true, false, nil}

o1 = [{"foo": "bar"}, 1, 3.14159, true, false, null]

i2 : fromJSON oo

o2 = {HashTable{"foo" => bar}, 1, 3.14159, true, false, nil}

o2 : List
