Thanks for your help.
I tried this new grammar to match characters only:
"
TEST = OBJECT
<WHITESPACE> = <#'\\s+'>
OBJECT = CURLY_OPEN WHITESPACE* STRING WHITESPACE* (WHITESPACE* OBJECT
WHITESPACE*)* CURLY_CLOSE
<CURLY_OPEN> = <'{'>
<CURLY_CLOSE> = <'}'>
STRING = #'[a-zA-Z]'
"
(parse "{harden {James}}")
Parse error at line 1, column 3:
{harden {James}}
^
Expected one of:
"}" (followed by end-of-string)
"{"
#"\s+"
