also, if you have GObjects you want to serialize to JSON, you can use
JSON-GLib's serialization:

  https://developer.gnome.org/json-glib/0.16/json-glib-GObject-Serialization.html#json-gobject-serialize

and then use JsonGenerator to push to a GOutputStream:

  https://developer.gnome.org/json-glib/0.16/JsonGenerator.html#json-generator-to-stream

the deserialization step uses JsonParser and
json_gobject_deserialize(). we also have GVariant <-> JSON.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
