No it’s not. Did you read my response where I made that clear? 

17793.19077.50295.840813 at parhasard.net: 

  “JSON is a data format, like ASN.1, S-expressions, and XML. (Though
  closest in spirit to S-expressions; the ability to do an eval() in
  JavaScript is one of its selling points.) The library converts
  JSON-encoded data to Lisp data types, and vice-versa. It doesn’t add
  support for interactively editing JSON files in XEmacs, since
  javascript-mode already provides that adequately.”

  This is not a mode. This is a library for Lisp programming. net-utils fits
  best, though I agree that it’s not ideal.”

The mail made that argument and is in Gmane, and the web archive; check your
mail delivery infrastructure for problems if it didn’t get to you.
