While it might be interesting to have/find/write a tool that puts an
HTTP/JSON layer around the DB connection, it's pretty much entirely
unrelated to the proposed project of creating a json type with
PostgreSQL analagous to the xml type we already have, which is what
the OP is proposing to do.

Personally, I suspect that a JSON type is both a more interesting
project to work on and a more useful result for this community.
