Hi Dmitry
That's great news. I like the name :)
I tried the link to the website :
https://json-b.net. It's currently using
the GitHub SSL certificate so you'll see a warning from browser about this.
The quick workaround would be to just use the "http" address when we want
to refer to it.
I'll also add above details (issue tracker, repositories, etc.) to the
website too.
Regards
Ehsan
