 json objects are represented by erlang proplists. the empty object has the special representation `[{}]` to differentiate it from the empty list. ambiguities like `[true, false]` prevent using the shorthand form of property lists using atoms as properties. all properties must be tuples. all keys must be encoded as in `string`, above, or as atoms (which will be escaped and converted to binaries for presentation to handlers)
 
 
+## gen_json ##
+
+jsx is implemented as a set of scanners that produce tokens consumed be functions that transform them into various representations. `gen_json` is an interface to allow arbitrary representations/actions to be taken upon scanning a json text or erlang term representation of a json text
+
+
+**the gen_json parser**
+
+`gen_json:parser(Mod)` -> `Result`
+
+`gen_json:parser(Mod, Args)` -> `Result`
+
+`gen_json:parser(Mod, Args, Opts)` -> `Result`
+
+types:
+
+* `Mod` = module()
+* `Args` = any()
+* `Opts` = see note below
+
+`Mod` is the callback module implementing the `gen_json` behaviour
+
+`Args` will be passed to `Mod:init/1` as is
+
+`Result` will be the return from `Mod:handle_event(end_json, State)`
+
+in general, `Opts` will be passed as is to the scanner. the scanner will be automatically selected based on input type. to specify a specific scanner, you may use the options `{parser, Parser}` where `Parser` can currently be one of `auto`, `encoder` or `decoder`. `auto` is the default behaviour, `encoder` will only accept erlang terms (as in the mapping detailed above) and `decoder` will only accept json texts. note that to parse naked erlang terms as json, you MUST specify `{parser, encoder}`. more scanners may be added in the future
+
+
+modules that implement the `gen_json` behaviour must implement the following two functions
+
+
+**init**
+
+produces the initial state for a gen_json handler
+
+`init(Args)` -> `InitialState`
+
+types:
+
+* `Args` = `any()`
+* `InitialState` = `any()`
+
+`Args` is the argument passed to `gen_json/2` above as `Args`. when `gen_json/1` is called, `Args` will equal `[]` 
+
+
+**handle_event**
+
+`handle_event/2` will be called for each token along with the current state of the handler and should produce a new state
+
+`handle_event(Event, State)` -> `NewState`
+
+types:
+
+* `Event` =
+    - `start_object`
+    - `end_object`
+    - `start_array`
+    - `end_array`
+    - `end_json`
+    - `{key, list()}`
+    - `{string, list()}`
+    - `{integer, integer()}`
+    - `{float, float()}`
+    - `{literal, true}`
+    - `{literal, false}`
+    - `{literal, null}` 
+* `State` = `any()`
+
+`Event` types are detailed in the mapping section, above. any cleanup in your handler should be done upon receiving `end_json` as it will always be the last token received
