[soc2009] Proposal for serialization library

Dear Boost developers, Congratulations on being accepted as a mentoring organization. I'd like to work on Boost serialization library for this year Google Summer of Code. The feature I'd like, JSON archives, was suggested last year, but to my knowledge wasn't implemented. As part of my college project I have written LR(1) parsers for BBCode and Wiki Creole markup using JavaCup/JFlex, and also LL parser for BBCode using ANTLR. I'm not (jet) comfortable with Boost.Spirit, but since I'm quite familiar with (E)BNF notation, I can learn it quickly. I'd like to know are you still interested in this proposal and will there be mentor for me, if I get accepted? Sincerely, Hrvoje Ban

There was some other talk about this: using YAML/XML archives to construct a json/xml-rpc mechanism with boost::serialization and boost::asio. Have you reviewed the code from last year's SOC? http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2008-boost/downloads/list -t

I discussed this a day or two ago on IRC as I am interested in a project that would involve JSON. It turns out that YAML archives were implemented, and to a large extent YAML is a superset of JSON, so effectively JSON archives have been implemented. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out exactly how to get them to work, and the person who worked on the implementation has not responded to my email. You can check out the code here: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2008-boost/downloads/list Regards, Eugene Wee

In this case you might want to contact the mentor of last year's YAML project: Joel de Guzman (joel at boostpro dot com). Regards Hartmut

I thought that project wasn't completed since I didn't find a trace of JSON in either source or documentation. I'll have to find something else then. Sincerely, Hrvoje Ban On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 3:24 PM, Eugene Wee <crystalrecursion@gmail.com> wrote:
