#17385 — Does anyone have a JSON lexer in ANS Forth?

... that they'd be willing to share under a GPL or BSD license? The C
libraries I've found (for example, jansson http://www.digip.org/jansson/)
are too full of C-isms to be of much use when calling from Forth. All
I'm interested in right now is the lexer; I'll be adding my own
processing of the data structures.

Thanks Gerry. In case anyone else tries it I downloaded the SVN
version as the default 8.00 and 8.01 builds don't contain the source;
svn checkout http://ffl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ffl

Strange, it was described so I assumed it was in the standard download. 
I haven't used it myself, perhaps the author doesn't yet consider it 
fully tested.

I'm going to use it (with attribution to dvoudheusden ???) as the
basis for my own parser, since my requirements are slightly different
than those JIS addresses.

Change of plan. After looking at the code, it's not really that
suitable at all. I've started with my own parser, since I want to be
able to (1) support extensions to JSON (2) plug it into the Forth
parser. Something along the lines of a super CREATE;

24 constant lucklast
create myname ," Alex"
json mother { "person" : "Carol" ,
              "children" : { "Bill" : 8 , "Ted" : 6 }
            }
json father { "person" : $myname ,
              "children" : mother/children ,
              "firstchild" : { mother/children#1 } ,
              "luckynumbers" : [ 21 , 22 , 23 , %lucklast ]
            }

Wow, that library is awesome.

What is so awesome about FFL? Have you actually tried using it, or did
you just read the list of things that it supports?

A lot of people seem to think that FFL is awesome. For example,
Passaniti says this:
