We have source code up at:

http://hg.secondlife.com/llsd

<http://hg.secondlife.com/llsd>... and most of the supported languages can
read/write Notation, XML, JSON and Binary serializations of LLSD.

Notation serialization is loosely deprecated but has some benefits over JSON
in that all LLSD types are explicitly serialized, whereas when serializing
to JSON the consumer must interpret values in the correct format (e.g.
data['foo'][2]['bar'].asUUID()). That's the intended use of LLSD, but not
everyone follows that intent.
