that is one of the main motivations for JON. http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2014-February/035542.html. 3!:1 is a simpler alternative.
obviously of no help reading chrome json files. Binding to same/similar c library as python would help. ----- Original Message ----- From: June Kim (김창준) <junea...@gmail.com> To: Programming forum <programm...@jsoftware.com> Cc: Sent: Sunday, March 2, 2014 11:51:13 PM Subject: [Jprogramming] Sorry state of slow parsing of JSON in J Hello, I recently tried to work on a JSON file (a bookmark file from Chrome browser), which is about 28MB. My initial attempt was using the json parser from the J packages. Oh, it was slow. It took more than one minute on my machine. Disappointed, but I was kind of expecting the slow performance because string and tree are not what J's strength is. Now I turned to Python and tried parsing the file using the standard package. Oh, I took about a second. So I can proceed with Python but I want to know if there are any other options working with J with better performance.
