Life's too short. :-)
I gave the reasons why Ragel is a good way to do JSON in my 3 links,
and it doesn't need extra description from me to justify it. If after
understanding that approach and its benefits, someone sees a technical
problem with it and believes that an alternative might be better for
V8, great, that can be discussed technically and objectively. But we
weren't heading down that road. We were being paddled up a non-
technical creek based on a lack of understanding of the dangers of
unvalidated input(), and towards yet another handcrafted hack like so
many that have plagued JSON in the past in other languages. V8
deserves better.
When I evaluated 1-4 different implementations of JSON for each of 6
different languages about a year ago, I found a range of performances
spanning nearly 3 orders of magnitude. Not only was JSON in Ragel way
out ahead, but it's also a formal and safe approach, and so I now
advocate it. Arguments about technical merit I welcome and are very
necessary. Making friends and influencing people is an optional
extra. :-)
