+# The `json` framing function
+
+The `json` framing function segments the peer stream at boundaries defined by complete JSON
+entities (Objects, Arrays, Strings or Values) and forwards these as text frames.
+
+For example, on encountering the start of a JSON object at the beginning of the stream, it will read from the
+peer until that objects closing brace and the send the entire object as a single text frame.
+
+The plugin does not implement a full parser and performs only rudimentary syntactic analysis to determine
+the end of the current entity. When encountering an error, the entire buffer is forwarded as a binary frame.
+It is possible to construct erroneous JSON objects that pass the parser without an error, however any
+syntactically correct object should be forwarded correctly (please file a bug with an example otherwise).
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `json` framing function does not require any configuration.
