The term "jawn" comes from the Philadelphia area. It conveys about as much information as "thing" does. I chose the name because I had moved to Montreal so I remembered Philly fondly. Also, there isn't a better way to describe objects encoded in JSON than "things". Finally, we get a catchy slogan. Jawn was designed to parse JSON into an AST as quickly as possible. Currently, Jawn is competitive with the fastest Java JSON libraries (GSON and Jackson) and in the author's benchmarks, it often wins. It seems to be faster than any other Scala parser that exists (as of July 2014).
