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: http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/ - Jonathan M Davis
