/**
 * The JSON Utility provides methods to serialize JavaScript objects into
 * JSON strings and parse JavaScript objects from strings containing JSON data.
 * Three modules are available for inclusion:
 * <ol>
 * <li>1. <code>json-parse</code> for parsing JSON strings into native JavaScript data</li>
 * <li>2. <code>json-stringify</code> for stringification of JavaScript objects into JSON strings</li>
 * <li>3. <code>json</code> for both parsing and stringification</li>
 * </ol>
 * 
 * Both <code>json-parse</code> and <code>json-stringify</code> create functions in a static JSON class under your YUI instance (e.g. Y.JSON.parse(..)).
