Research direction

Start by reviewing the JSON 1.0 compatibility changes described in the issue and the linked package references from the JuliaHub search. Determine which packages still use the removed show_json interface or the parse inttype keyword; done means the affected package changes are identified and compatibility work is completed across the listed references.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Here are some registered packages that will need changes to be compatible with JSON 1.0
This is based on a search in JuliaHub, but I may be missing some packages.
