Great! There are a couple of folks interested in working on this, so we should be careful to avoid duplicating effort. I would start by reading the JSON RFC (it's pretty short): http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt Next, I would read Firefox's implementation: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/json.cpp For the precise JavaScript API, please see the ECMAScript 3.1 spec: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=es3.1:json_support We want to match Firefox's (and IE's) behavior exactly. Then I would look at our https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20031 which has some possibly useful code. If that code isn't useful, feel free to throw it away. Maciej recommends we implement this feature using our existing JSC lexer and a bison grammar. I believe JSC already uses a bison grammar for JavaScript, so it might be worth adapting that for JSON.
