Spirit2 has unicode support. I'll most probably write a robust JSON parser very soon. It will play along perfectly with the S-expression example and the universal-tree AST (utree) Hartmut and I have been tinkering with for the past BoostCon.
Such non-trivial examples, developed as tutorials, would be tremendously useful to improve the experience of those trying to use Spirit for non-trivial problems.
+1 Actually I can't wait to get my hands on a book dedicated to Boost.Spirit. :D
Our current goal is to 1) ease the learning curve 2) provide a clear and easy development cycle for incremental development.
These are excellent goals and will go a very long way to increasing the use of Spirit if met.
Actually I have higher hopes for this. Really, a REPL for C++ template metaprogramming is badly needed IMO -- this necessitates an isolation of the template system in C++ into its own programming language which would really benefit from a dedicated compiler/interpreter. -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
