Re:Parsing JSON Is a Minefield (2016) by spookthesunset on Monday October 11, 2021 @03:14PM (#28831860)
I mean even if it is well defined that doesn’t mean the devs are using the languages native parser library. I’ve encounter at least two projects where the devs rolled their own XML “parser” using regex and “substring” functions. Why? “The xml library was too bloated… much easier to write it ourself”. Suffice to say, they had tons to problems.
