JSON Parser in C#

Question

Hi guys, I have a quick question about parsing a json file. Could someone explain to me about LEX/YACC, how can I think of it for a json file? Do I need to implement a lexical analyzer myself or are there standard libraries I can use? The programming language used is C#.

Best regards,
Sela

Answer 2

There is also the popular newtonsoft library

While you could write a json parser in lex/yacc, these are Unix tools and are not commonly used in the windows world. Actually ANTLR is more commonly used.

Hello Sela,

I would recommend to check the next posts in MDSN Forum, as they contain recommendation for that kind of parsing tools:
