# Simple wrapper around Excon with json parsing included
#
#
#   Make a JSON get request:
#
#   JSONR.get("http://echo.jsontest.com/quill/awesome/very/bacon")
#     # => {"quill"=>"awesome", "very"=>"bacon"} # it returns a hash
#
#
#   Use the pipelining api:
#
#   host = "http://echo.jsontest.com"
#   j = JSONR.new host
#   j.get # makes a get request to host
#   j.get "/foo/bar" # => {"foo"=>"bar"}
#   j.get "/baz/lol" # => {"baz"=>"lol"}
#   # note: all the requests use the same connection thanks to http pipelining
#
