I'm working on a project that will involve setting up a server-side Tcl
package that will return JSON data for parsing by a JavaScript client. A
few questions:
1. What's the best way to handle CGI these days--Don Liebes' cgi.tcl
package, ncgi in tcllib, or something else?
2. I know there there is a json package in tcllib that can parse JSON
output, but are there any tools in Tcl for generating JSON output from a
Tcl data structure?

Don's CGI was split into ncgi and html in tcllib and has had bug fixes done

since -- not sure if Don has also applied the fixes.
ncgi and html are what most people have been using for a couple of years now.

There's some sample code for generating JSON here:

Under the json module you should also find a json::write package.
