I'm sure it'll run under mono; after all, that's where you're using it. The "Windows-culture" I'm complaining about refers to how people are expected to use it - *nix culture is "we'll provide you with source & a build-system so you can build it locally", Windows culture tends to be "Here's some binaries (and maybe some source too, if you like)". > > which means I get to write a build-system for it. > > Why do you need to write a build-system if I throw it pre-built? Because neither Debian nor Ubuntu (and probably other distributions) accept binaries that they can't easily build from source. That means that if we want your plugin to be available in distros, we need to (at least) build the library from source. This doesn't bother you during development, though.

The other one I found was Json.NET, but I don't think that does json-rpc, which is what you're after, right? This library should be fine.
