Since we write the resource strings in JSON, and XML is meanwhile all but

The compiler writes the node tree already as XML, so I thought XML might be
the better choice?
The node tree is not for public use. The resource string files are, and this
is too...
Despite the fact that I really dislike json for two reasons: it reminds me
of JS and C; ad hoc writing is annoying due to the comma being a separator
and no trailing commas after the last value being allowed.
Well, then it means pas2js will unfortunately not follow FPC in this; if
anything it will write JSON, because it already writes everything else in
JSON.
Just to show this is not an exaggerated statement,
pas2js can also output the compiler messages itself as JSON for easier
treatment:
{ "message" : "Using unit path: \"/Users/michael/pas2js/packages/rtl\"", "line" : 0, "col" : 0, "number" : 104,
"filename" : "", "type" : "Info" }
{ "message" : "Output file: \"\"", "line" : 0, "col" : 0, "number" : 106, "filename" : "",
"type" : "Info" }
{ "message" : "Fatal: parameter a.pp: Pascal file not found: \"/Volumes/Development/michael/a.pp\"", "line" : 0, "col" : 0,
"number" : 0, "filename" : "", "type" : "Info" }
(I believe the TMS Web core compiler uses this format to convert it to a
delphi-understandable format))
