Parsing JSON with a single Perl regex
Thursday, October 17, 7pm
cPanel, Inc. (3131 W. Alabama St.)

Perl v5.10 added several features that take (ir)regular
expressions to a new level. With grammars and recursion,
a single regex can now process things such as HTML and
JSON. After going through these features, I'll show how
Randal Schwartz used them in his tiny JSON parser
(http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=995856). This discussion
also appears in chapter 2 of Mastering Perl, 2nd Edition,
which you can read for free through O'Reilly's Early
Release program:
