JSON parsing library project for GSoC
Hi. My name is Olexandr Popilovsky and I'm a student of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. I made a proposal for JSON parsing library and I would like to know that can I be accepted for this project and if yes, what I should to do to increase my chances (demo or smt.). thanks. waiting for your answer =)

ISTR that there are already a couple floating around; I know at least one example had been posted to the spirit mailing list by Colin Rundel: <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/domain-specific-languages-by-martin-fowler/> There's also one on CodeProject. Given that a parser or emitter can be written in about ~100 lines using Spirit, I'm not sure how you could spend a whole summer on it, but I'm not in charge of things... -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

If an easy to use and efficient json parser came into boost as a 100 line library I'd consider that a summer well spent. Can you provide a link to your proposal?

The core of that work would be writing a submission, waiting for feedback, replying to reviews, etc., which has high latency and isn't really a beginner's job. I therefore strongly disagree that "get library <X> accepted into boost" would be a reasonable GSoC project. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

I don't think I ever suggested that. I was being mostly tongue-in-cheek anyways. If you look back on this list a short while back there was a discussion of json library interface that I seriously doubt would take 100 lines of code. Even if it did I would strongly disagree with using a lines of code metric to judge the value of a library.

Isn't the scope of effort a valid point of discussion when considering a *summer* of code proposal, however? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Fair enough, although I still wouldn't agree that LOC = scope of effort. Anyways... Still hoping for a link to said proposal so that the scope of the effort and other things can be discussed.
