I would recommend http-enumerator[1] for making HTTP requests. For the
JSON parsing, there are lots of options. In the (hopefully near)
future, we'll be adding parsing support json-enumerator[2] so we can
try and unify all JSON code on John Millikin's json-types[3] package.
There's already parse support in yajl-enumerator[4], but this requires
a C library be installed.
