I haven't checked if JSON allows one to write back to PG but here are
steps to install simplejson on XP :

In whatever your FeatureServer root in a console :

wget http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/s/simplejson/simplejson-1.7.1.tar.gz
tar -zvxf simplejson-1.7.1.tar.gz
cp -r simplejson-1.7.1/simplejson /var/www/featureserver

Those NIX commands work in XP if you install UnxUtils first then
put  ...\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin on your PATH. I always have a hard time
googling for the right location of that : try
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/. 

HTH,
