Nice, we can offer it those who have trouble with JSON and don't have 
PHP5.2.

I'm now writing a wrapper class that will determine which JSON function 
to use. By this I hope to determine the best option for the current PHP 
setting. This favors the native/PECL solution and uses Pear otherwise.

Thanks very much for your input, Michael and Peter,

Christoph
