They also have different interface.  simplejson uses load/loads/dump/
dumps, whereas cjson using encode/decode (its pretty simple to
monkeypatch cjson with some lambda's so it has the same interface,
though).

Yeah, its frustrating that there are so many json encoders for
python.  Its a bit disappointing simplejson is going into the stdlib;
i hope they rewrite it in C?

Has a good comparison of encoders.
