Why is there a dependency on bson_ext? about clip

[gotar]

bson_ext is used by Mongo, redis probably to for faster binary json data manipulation

yeah i know bson_ext. But I don't understand why fnord has a dependency on that.
It is not needed and one of the reasons why fnord won't run on jruby.

yajl-ruby and thin are also c-based; problematic for JRuby implementation. It seems like Either a JRuby fork of fnordmetric or a new project would have to crop up to get JVM support.

[tobsch]

that is right! json is not a big problem. my question why there is a need for bson is still not answered though :)

[sheerun]

I don't see that dependency now. Can this issue be closed?
