I expect that std.json will be replaced at some point. There's certainly been 
talk of it from time to time, and I don't think that it's range-based like it 
should be. However, as I understand it, it's not in as bad shape as std.xml 
is. So, it's more reasonable to use. As I understand it, std.xml should 
probably just be avoided unless your desperate.

vibe.d also appears to have a json parser, so you may want to look at that as 
well:
