8. `json.v` defines the json code generation. This file will be removed once V supports comptime code generation, and it will be possible to do this using the language's tools.
9. `x64/` is the directory with all the machine code generation logic. It's not released yet. Obviously this is the most complex part of the compiler. It defines a set of functions that translates assembly instructions to machine code, it builds complicated binaries from scratch byte by byte. It manually builds all headers, segments, sections, symtable, relocations, etc. Right now it only has basic support of the x64 platform/Mach-O format, and it can only generate `.o` files, which then have to be linked with `lld`.

It manually builds all headers, segments, sections, symtable, relocations, etc. Right now it only has basic support of the x64 platform/ELF format.
The rest of the directories are vlib modules: `builtin/` (strings, arrays, maps), `time/`, `os/`, etc. Their documentation is pretty clear.
