Re: QtmWrStout parameters

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't build JSON from scratch... instead I'd use YAJL to build it.  Or
there are built newer functions where you can actually use data structures
to build the JSON I believe.  (I only use YAJL and build JSON that way).

YAJL also does include a function to take that JSON you just built and
write it to StdOut.  Here's an example:
