json in LUA?

[manjh]

I have a question that is embarrassingly simple, I think I should be able to figure this out by myself, but can't...

What I want to do is issue a json command from a LUA script. I have found the elaborate description in the Wiki, but cannot figure out how to issue such a command in a LUA script.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

That's dzvents, I'd like to merge into a pure LUA script...

Not sure, but I did discover that the install process is more than I expected.
Had to install Luarocks first in order to be able to install http.
Then installed http, but ran into errors: need to install crypto first. Not sure if I want to do this... it seems more than it is worth.

since it supports https as well, crypto is a mandatory install.
you may be be to uninstall it after if you only use http.

ymmv.
