Hi Brad,

Check out rl_json - https://github.com/RubyLane/rl_json

It's a plain tcl extension, so it's not aolserver (or naviserver) 
specific, but it was written to be used in a naviserver application, so 
it integrates perfectly well there.

There are some other packages listed on the Tcler's Wiki at 
http://wiki.tcl.tk/13419.  There is a json package included in tcllib, 
but I would recommend avoiding it as its json2dict conversion is lossier 
than it needs to be, making round trips essentially impossible.
