Yes it is meant to be used primarily from ruby as it is a port of a rather widespread library, and a dependency for a bunch of other libraries (see http://json.rubyforge.org/).
The reason is simply to maintain compatibility with the ruby bits of the original json library in which exceptions are defined inside a common.rb file: this is due to the fact that this lib comes in two flavours, json-pure (everything is ruby) and json-ext (the generator and parser are implemented in C, the rest is ruby), so there are parts of the code that are shared between the two and eventually invoked from within the native code. Anyway I'm curious, I haven't found other means to do that in a much cleaner way :) On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 04:33, Tomas Matousek <[email protected]> wrote: > Why don't you declare the exceptions in C#?
