I intend to orphan the yajl package. It has been a long time since I've been
able to maintain this package properly.
Additionally, upstream development appears to be dead, and as far as I can see
there is not any consensus about what fork to migrate to. See for example
https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/issues/252
The package description is:
A small, fast library for parsing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It
supports incremental parsing from a stream and leaves data representation to
higher level code.
.
This package contains the header files and static libraries needed for
compiling software that uses the yajl library.
