the communication was done with PSON, which is a variant of JSON that

PSON started out as simply a vendored version of json_pure. The name
PSON was apparently because rails would try to patch anything named
JSON, and so they needed to name it something different to stop that
from happening (that is all hearsay, so I don't know how truthful it is).
Ah... History.

In other words, exactly right.
There had to be a first time for an historical event to be reported
correctly. :)
We initially just force-loaded rails first and then over-rode its
monkey patches, but then it started force-loaded all of the json libs
so it could guarantee that its (incompatible) monkey patches won.
At that point our only choice was to use different names. Yay rails.
All I remember now is that commit and Markus stroking his beard and
shaking his head a lot. :)
Cheers
