*Personally* I agree, but different languages for different folks. Some people are very comfortable in assembler, especially with the structured macros. I think I can state with some confidence that if @EdJaffe need to parse some JSON documents he would do it from assembler.
Maybe, but I'm not so sure. If that JSON is coming over the wire into a Java web application like EJES Web then I would expect it to be serialized to a byte array in the Java layer. That's how we do it. No JSON ever reaches the assembler layer in our stack.
COBOL does not seem like a great choice either to me personally, but some folks, and especially some shops, are most comfortable with COBOL.

I couldn't think of a worse language for the job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
