JSON strikes me as a worthy candidate. Is anybody using it on the
server-side with enough confidence to answer this question: Can I type
a file of JSON stuff by hand and convert it easily into a nested
associative array?
I use JSON in slidePresenter for transferring nested arrays between PHP
and JavaScript. It works so well I pretty much just forget about it.
The parser I'm using is this file:
http://mike.teczno.com/JSON/JSON.phps, which is a part of the PEAR
proposal for JSON
(<http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=198>).
For converting PHP associative arrays into JSON format this has been
very good, and I've not seen any limit to the levels to which the arrays
can be nested.
See around line 94 in the source file for a quick howto.
