All,
But having said that, I wonder whether bison/flex are really the best
tool for the job in the first place. From what I understand of JSON
(which admittedly ain't much) a bison parser seems like overkill:
it'd probably be both bloated and slow compared to a simple handwritten
recursive-descent parser.
This appears not to be necessary. The author of JSONval has indicated
that, should we choose to include it in PostgreSQL 9.1, he is open to
re-licensing.
So on a completely *technical* basis, do we want to use JSONval?
I agree with Tom that a hand-cut RD parser is much more likely to be the
way to go. We should not use bison/flex for parsing data values.
