It worked out OK with the ":key" rule, however in the end I went for prefuse flare, not processing for my visualizations and was irritated by having to change (processingjs is too slow) so I skipped the Actionscript 3 implementation, I'm just outputting JSON in picolisp now straight away which work

I've updated the converter now, the current version is more flexible than earlier and will now also do (":key" (1 2 3)) -> {"key": [1, 2, 3]}. /Henrik On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Henrik Sarvell wrote: > Thanks for the idea TC, another alternative would be to give the > parser a bias to lean

Thanks for the idea TC, another alternative would be to give the parser a bias to lean on as an extra argument but that doesn't feel 100% right. I can't see how ":key" would create any conflicts either. /Henrik On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 8:23 AM, Tomas Hlavaty wrote: > Hi Henrik, > >> First of all,

I just realized that there is an ambiguity here since I can't seem to accomplish a pair looking like this: ("key" . (1 2 3)), no matter how I try I get: ("key" (1 2 3)), if the first one is really impossible then any JSON converter will stumble on it since it's impossible to know if ["key", [1, 2,

First of all, to offload the server from having to build json all the time. For me the real issue is not speed in the client, given that premise I simply took a wild guess that building the json and then evaluating it is a simpler road to take than actually building the composite objects right awa
