OK then, but the original question was "how far" is Sexplib to obtain
JSON and the answer then should be "still a bit far", it is not just a
function of a couple of lines. You have to write some code to obtain
fully compliant JSON.

Instead of asking people to write it over and over again, it would
probably be a good idea to provide a patch for Sexplib adding
serialization capabilities towards JSON. That assuming, of course, that
Sexplib authors are interested in integrating such a feature.

Cheers.
