[Seaside-dev] Javascript-Core-lr.22

[Lukas Renggli]

Actually the JSON parser is not really used at the moment, it is more
of an experiment to make the event handling simpler. The idea would be
to enable the possiblity to pass back objects to the server.

Yeah. Writing a JSON parser is simple, if you consider the
incompatible streaming methods easy to handle (#upTo:, #upToAll:,
#match:).

AFAIK the SmaCC-Runtime (and this is the only dependency) is portable
across all current Seaside platforms (Pharo, VisualWorks, GemStone,
VisualAge, GST).

Cheers,
Lukas
