Mike Chambers posted a great tutorial demonstrating how to use JSON together with Flex 2 and ActionScript 3 to build an application.
The JSON library was something I created for the Open Source ActionScript 3 libraries released by Adobe. The libraries were recently updated to work with the Beta 2 release of Flex 2.
JSON is a lightweight format for describing data structures, and is handy for passing data between client and server (and has become more popular from usage inside the AJAX community).

Hi Darron, good work on the JSON library. Is there a sort of process/pattern you go through when creating something as useful as this? That is, what prompts you to create this, and the process you take to go from incubation to project completion (e.g. what research, if any, did you have to do in the process of making this library?) Thanks for sharing.

I am working in Flex2 with the following example output ( http://tinyurl.com/zkjpa ) and I get a parsing error. I fixed it by changing the tokenizer to treat a newline char as white space. Is the JSON correct or is a it bug in the tokenizer.as
