Not as stunned as me - because I am using it in production, and now face a rather onerous re-engineering process :(
Serves me right for not doing more thorough research into the options. On the flip side, it does help me explain some trouble performance bottlenecks.

As it happens, I do have a "use case" where I need to walk through a JSON with no prior knowledge of its exact content. It involves simply comparing the JSON (a data model for a context) with the previous version (stored in a session) to work out what the delta is. I basically need to know that a node is new, missing or changed to build the delta with no assumed knowledge of what the nodes are. I expect the yajl_xxxx_parse will enable me to do this.

Scott,

Thanks for the additional information. I was so stunned by Kevin's report of performance differences between your service program and that of Mihael Schmidt; I was looking for an explanation. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in either; I haven't had a requirement to "consume" JSON under IBM i yet. I'm interested in the topic, however.

I agree that "applications" typically know the format of JSON documents in advance. An API that makes it easy to "find" the content you're looking for is intuitive in that case.

I've been toying with writing a JavaScript utility that "merges" HTML templates with JSON objects, where neither the format of the HTML nor the JSON would be known in advance. I suppose that may have triggered the idea of a similar use case under IBM i, though that is just an abstract notion at this point.

I view the topic of JSON to be relevant to the topic of single-page applications, client-side frameworkd, and possibly server-side web-service frameworks, which we have been discussing during the past few weeks.
