Parser and lexer generators are complicated beasts, and I wouldn't send a novice programmer in that direction if it could be helped. Most quoting/unquoting is very straightforward. There's a quote character and an escape character. For anything more complicated, yes, build your own.
Do you think uri escaping (reserved chars are replaced with %hexdigit hexdigit) should be supported as well? BR, Dmitry
