JSON is NOT dropped from PHP 5.5

I switched to 5.5.6 yesterday morning

Code:
[root@astra scripts]# php -v

[root@astra scripts]# php -m | grep json
json
 
Probably someone dumb and confused about how some Linux distros wanted to switch to a different internal JSON library for PHP because of licensing issues. I guess in that case the JSON library *was* dropped, but they forgot to mention that it was replaced with something with a friendlier license for them.
