Parsing JSON is a Minefield

Also, as someone who has written an XML parser, according to some of the comments in this threads I'm way beyond medical help, and should give up on life :).

Depends on when you did this crazy thing. Was it in the dark days before they were "ubiquitous"? (for lack of a better word. also it's just a fun word)

Then you're a hero to those who made use of it.

If someone were to do that today, though, then yes, seek help.

I got dinged in a thread the other day for writing my own JSON parser, so i'm not sure i should confess to also having written enough of an ASN.1 parser to deal with certain PEM key formats:

Well, every person you spared from that experience owes you a beer...
