JSON to S-Expressions

JSON to S-Expressions. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Consider this: it’s much easier to parse S-Expressions than JSON! Plus, in statically typed languages, this script could excel, because it declares the type first. Remember that you can always use my S-Expression parser in C to parse them:

PS: Is it just me, or ‘JSON to Sexp’ sounds like ‘Jason 2: Sex Pest’?

    I’m not sure I agree that a readme needs to explain what s expressions are.

    If I wrote a json parser and wouldn’t explain what json was in the readme.

    I do agree that a link would be better than telling people to go to Wikipedia though.
