Does JSON have comments? Is that just Javascript comments?

When the machine gets huge because a particular complicated pattern appears all over, that's a good sign you need to use the traditional lexer + parser approach. Some people like to use ragel to parse directly though. Which you do is a matter of preference I suppose.

Only partially -- I managed to get the whole parser working, BAR the

"whitespace" rule ("W"), but I never managed to get it to work, so I
yanked the comment bit for now..

I think there's probably a need in ragel to specify a "skip" rule
flag, to prevent the parser getting gigantic with "instances" of these
empty rules... I tried to do an fcall/fret but didn't get that to work
either...

Right now the parser is about 50kb expanded, and thats as low as I
managed it to get, I think that given the relative complexity of it,
it's probably OK...

If you want to have a quick review and/or submit patches, I would be
very grateful !

I'm very sorry I never responded to your messages. Did you get all the
issues worked out?

I open-sourced a ragel-based parser for an extended version of JSON (I
had posted a problematic version some weeks ago)
