Michael May commented on PIG-1914:
----------------------------------

I'm getting close to being ready to post a patch for a loader, but have a question (pardon me if this is not the right place to ask it, but this thread seems like a reasonable place).
 
The JSON Parser I'm currently using is part of an external dependency (namely, json-simple). I'm /assuming/ it's ok to add this dependency into the project. I'm familiar with maven's way of handling dependencies, but not so much with ant's. After doing a little digging around I found /ivy/pig.pom which looks similar to the dependency section of a maven pom.xml file. Can I add the dependency in here, or is there some other location where I can specify this dependency? 

Also, (somewhat unrelated, but a noob question) I'm currently working with this feature off of trunk. Is that where I should be working? The specified 'affected version' is 0.8.0 and I see there are 0.8 branches and 0.9 branches. Just want to make sure I'm working in the right place.

Thanks

> The JSON is a commonly used data storage format. It is popular for storing structured data, especially for JavaScript data exchange. 
> Pig should have the ability to load/store JSON format data. I plan to write one for the piggy bank.
