JSON: Parsing Input
July 12, 2011
JavaScript Object Notation, JSON, is a system for passing structured data between computers, similar to XML but far simpler. JSON provides Unicode strings with a limited number of escapes, decimal numbers, the booleans true and false, the null value, arrays, and key/value dictionaries with string keys.
Your task is to write a parser that converts JSON data to an object in your favorite computer language. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
