Since we write the resource strings in JSON, and XML is meanwhile all but replaced by JSON, I think it would be much better to write JSON ?The compiler writes the node tree already as XML, so I thought XML might be the better choice?
The node tree is not for public use. The resource string files are, and this is too...
Despite the fact that I really dislike json for two reasons: it reminds me of JS and C; ad hoc writing is annoying due to the comma being a separator and no trailing commas after the last value being allowed.
Well, then it means pas2js will unfortunately not follow FPC in this; if anything it will write JSON, because it already writes everything else in JSON. I would have preferred to use the same format, and we're not adding XML to
it. When you finish it in FPC, I can always add -ij for json. Michael.
