You are right. My intention is not to make it seem like this is 
new or revolutionary. The intention is to get some input on the 
work and hopefully provide a solution that in the end will be 
well documented, easy to find, and easy to integrate with. I 
don't know why I didn't find the one in vibe.d but it's still 
bundled with a lot else and uses it's own JSON implementation.

Painlessjon was the only library I could find on Github when 
searching for JSON that I could get working. Almost every library 
provided their own instead of using std.json.If std.json is bad 
it should be improved to help everyone using it.

The D community need to be better at putting their work on DUB 
and to separate their libraries more. I know that there are many 
tools out there that is not fully utilized because it's so hard 
to find them.

I will continue working on painlessjson and will take a look on 
the implementations I have now found and try to take the best 
from them. I have already seen some things in your code that I 
can make use of.
