It's already available on code.dlang.org:

http://code.dlang.org/packages/std_data_json

For it to get into Phobos, it has to get through the review process and be
voted in. It was put up for formal review two or three months ago, but that
didn't get to the point that it was voted on (I assume that there was more
work that needed to be done on it first; I haven't really read through that
thread though, so I don't know - I was too busy when the review started to
get involved in it). So, whatever needs to be done for it to be ready for a
formal vote needs to be done, and then it can be voted in, but all of that
takes time, so if you want to use it soon, you might as well just grab it
from code.dlang.org - and it will make it so that you're in a better
position to give feedback on it as well so that it will be that much better
if/when it makes it into Phobos.
