+# Five JSON — Harbour Compatible + Go-Native Extensions
+
+> Go's `encoding/json` + `net/http` power in Harbour syntax
+
+Copyright (c) 2026 Charles KWON OhJun (charleskwonohjun@gmail.com). All rights reserved.
+
+## Overview
+
+Five provides full Harbour JSON compatibility (`hb_jsonEncode`/`hb_jsonDecode`)
+plus nine Go-native extension functions that go far beyond what Harbour can do.
+These extensions leverage Go's standard library for JSONPath queries, HTTP
+integration, file I/O, validation, and deep merge — all impossible in stock
+Harbour without external C libraries.
+
+## Why Five's JSON Is Better
+
+| Capability | Harbour | Five |
+|-----------|---------|------|
+| Basic encode/decode | `hb_jsonEncode()` / `hb_jsonDecode()` | Same API, compatible |
+| Pretty print | Not available | `JsonPretty(xValue)` |
+| JSONPath query | Not available | `JsonPath(xVal, "$.user.name")` |
+| Deep merge | Not available | `JsonMerge(hDest, hSrc)` |
+| Validate syntax | Not available | `JsonValid(cJSON)` |
+| Detect type | Not available | `JsonType(cJSON)` |
+| File read/write | Manual `MemoRead` + encode/decode | `JsonTo()` / `JsonFrom()` |
+| HTTP GET + JSON | External library required | `JsonHttpGet(cURL)` |
+| HTTP POST + JSON | External library required | `JsonHttpPost(cURL, xBody)` |
+| Unicode support | Limited by codepage | Full UTF-8 via Go |
+| Large file streaming | Memory-limited | Go's streaming decoder |
+| Concurrent encoding | Thread-unsafe | Goroutine-safe |
+
+### What Harbour Cannot Do
+
+```harbour
+// Harbour: requires hbcurl + manual JSON parsing + error handling
+// Approximately 30+ lines of code with external dependencies
+
+// Five: one line, zero dependencies
+result := JsonHttpGet("https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo")
+? JsonPath(result, "$.body")
+```
+
+## Function Reference
+
+### Harbour Compatible
+
+#### hb_jsonEncode(xValue [, lHumanReadable]) → cJSON
+
+Converts any Five value to a JSON string.
+
+```harbour
+? hb_jsonEncode({"name" => "Five", "version" => 1})
+// → {"name":"Five","version":1}
+
+? hb_jsonEncode({"a" => {1,2,3}}, .T.)  // pretty
+// → {
+//     "a": [1, 2, 3]
+//   }
+```
+
+**Supported types:**
+- String → `"string"`
+- Numeric (int) → `123`
+- Numeric (float) → `3.14`
+- Logical → `true` / `false`
+- NIL → `null`
+- Array → `[1, 2, 3]`
+- Hash → `{"key": "value"}`
+- Nested structures → fully recursive
+
+#### hb_jsonDecode(cJSON) → xValue
+
+Parses a JSON string into Five values.
+
+```harbour
+result := hb_jsonDecode('{"users":[{"name":"Kim"},{"name":"Lee"}]}')
+? result["users"][1]["name"]  // → "Kim"
+```
+
+**Type mapping:**
+- `"string"` → Five String
+- `123` → Five Int
+- `3.14` → Five Double
+- `true`/`false` → Five Logical
+- `null` → Five NIL
+- `[...]` → Five Array
+- `{...}` → Five Hash
+
+### Five Extensions (Go-Native)
+
+#### JsonPretty(xValue [, cIndent]) → cJSON
+
+Formats JSON with indentation for human readability.
+
+```harbour
+h := {"name" => "Five", "features" => {"goroutine", "FRB", "Rushmore"}}
+? JsonPretty(h)
+// {
+//   "name": "Five",
+//   "features": [
+//     "goroutine",
+//     "FRB",
+//     "Rushmore"
+//   ]
+// }
+
+? JsonPretty(h, "\t")  // tab-indented
+```
+
+#### JsonPath(xValue, cPath) → xResult
+
+Queries nested JSON structures using dot-notation path syntax.
+
+```harbour
+data := hb_jsonDecode('{"user":{"name":"Charles","scores":[100,95,88]}}')
+
+? JsonPath(data, "$.user.name")       // → "Charles"
+? JsonPath(data, "$.user.scores[0]")  // → 100
+? JsonPath(data, "$.user.scores[2]")  // → 88
+? JsonPath(data, "$.missing.key")     // → NIL
+```
+
+**Path syntax:**
+- `$.key` — root-level key
+- `$.key.subkey` — nested key
+- `$.array[0]` — array index (0-based)
+- `$.key.array[1].name` — mixed nesting
+
+#### JsonMerge(hDest, hSrc) → hMerged
+
+Deep merges two hashes. Source keys overwrite destination keys.
+
+```harbour
+defaults := {"host" => "localhost", "port" => 5432, "ssl" => .F.}
+override := {"port" => 3306, "ssl" => .T., "db" => "myapp"}
+
+config := JsonMerge(defaults, override)
+? hb_jsonEncode(config)
+// → {"host":"localhost","port":3306,"ssl":true,"db":"myapp"}
+```
+
+#### JsonValid(cJSON) → lValid
+
+Validates JSON syntax without decoding.
+
+```harbour
+? JsonValid('{"name":"Five"}')  // → .T.
+? JsonValid('{broken json')     // → .F.
+? JsonValid('')                 // → .F.
+```
+
+Uses Go's `json.Valid()` — faster than full decode for validation-only checks.
+
+#### JsonType(cJSON) → cType
+
+Detects the top-level JSON type without decoding.
+
+```harbour
+? JsonType('{"a":1}')    // → "object"
+? JsonType('[1,2,3]')    // → "array"
+? JsonType('"hello"')    // → "string"
+? JsonType('42')         // → "number"
+? JsonType('true')       // → "boolean"
+? JsonType('null')       // → "null"
+? JsonType('{bad')       // → "invalid"
+```
+
+#### JsonTo(xValue, cFile) → lSuccess
+
+Writes a value as formatted JSON to a file.
+
+```harbour
+config := {"host" => "db.example.com", "port" => 5432}
+JsonTo(config, "config.json")
+// File contents:
+// {
+//   "host": "db.example.com",
+//   "port": 5432
+// }
+```
+
+#### JsonFrom(cFile) → xValue
+
+Reads and parses a JSON file.
+
+```harbour
+config := JsonFrom("config.json")
+? config["host"]  // → "db.example.com"
+? config["port"]  // → 5432
+```
+
+#### JsonHttpGet(cURL [, nTimeout]) → hResult
+
+Performs an HTTP GET request and returns the result as a hash.
+
+```harbour
+result := JsonHttpGet("https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo")
+
+? result["status"]  // → 200
+? result["error"]   // → "" (empty if no error)
+
+// Parse JSON body
+data := hb_jsonDecode(result["body"])
+? JsonPath(data, "$.full_name")  // → "user/repo"
+```
+
+**Result hash:**
+- `status` — HTTP status code (200, 404, etc.)
+- `body` — response body as string
+- `error` — error message (empty if success)
+
+**Timeout:** Default 30 seconds. Override with second parameter.
+
+#### JsonHttpPost(cURL, xBody [, nTimeout]) → hResult
+
+Performs an HTTP POST with JSON body.
+
+```harbour
+// Post a hash — automatically serialized to JSON
+result := JsonHttpPost("https://api.example.com/users", ;
+   {"name" => "Charles", "email" => "charles@example.com"})
+
+? result["status"]  // → 201
+
+// Post raw JSON string
+result := JsonHttpPost("https://api.example.com/data", ;
+   '{"raw":"json string"}')
+```
+
+**Content-Type:** Automatically set to `application/json`.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### REST API Client
+
+```harbour
+// Complete REST API client in Five — impossible in stock Harbour
+
+// GET
+users := hb_jsonDecode(JsonHttpGet("https://api.example.com/users")["body"])
+FOR EACH user IN users
+   ? JsonPath(user, "$.name"), JsonPath(user, "$.email")
+NEXT
+
+// POST
+result := JsonHttpPost("https://api.example.com/users", ;
+   {"name" => "New User", "role" => "admin"})
+IF result["status"] = 201
+   ? "User created!"
+ENDIF
+```
+
+### Configuration File
+
+```harbour
+// Load config with defaults + override
+defaults := JsonFrom("defaults.json")
+local_config := JsonFrom("local.json")
+config := JsonMerge(defaults, local_config)
+? "Database:", JsonPath(config, "$.database.host")
+```
+
+### Data Validation
+
+```harbour
+cInput := GetUserInput()
+IF !JsonValid(cInput)
+   ? "Invalid JSON!"
+   RETURN
+ENDIF
+IF JsonType(cInput) != "object"
+   ? "Expected JSON object!"
+   RETURN
+ENDIF
+data := hb_jsonDecode(cInput)
+```
+
+### Database Export to JSON
+
+```harbour
+USE "customers"
+LOCAL aRecords := {}
+GO TOP
+DO WHILE !Eof()
+   AAdd(aRecords, {"id" => FieldGet(1), "name" => AllTrim(FieldGet(2))})
+   SKIP
+ENDDO
+JsonTo(aRecords, "customers.json")
+? "Exported", Len(aRecords), "records"
+```
+
+### Goroutine + JSON API (Five exclusive)
+
+```harbour
+// Parallel API calls — impossible in Harbour
+ch := Channel(3)
+
+Go({|c| ChSend(c, JsonHttpGet("https://api1.example.com/data"))}, ch)
+Go({|c| ChSend(c, JsonHttpGet("https://api2.example.com/data"))}, ch)
+Go({|c| ChSend(c, JsonHttpGet("https://api3.example.com/data"))}, ch)
+
+// Collect results
+FOR i := 1 TO 3
+   result := ChReceive(ch)
+   ? "API", i, "status:", result["status"]
+NEXT
+```
+
+## Verified Test Results
+
+```
