Why is parsing JSON a problem in 2016 ?

  It's not if you use a language that comes with its own JSON parser. I don't know why anyone would bother writing their own, though.

    Does Swift not have its own JSON parser ? (IMA non-swift programmer)

      The Swift JSON parser is written in Objective-C. So kind of.

        Beginnings of a Swift one in the corelibs version of Foundation: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Foundation/NSJSONSerialization.swift https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/mast...

          How sad. Apple has 80 billion dollar in cash - and are unable to pay someone to write a standard JSON parser - for a language they want other developer to adopt. Do they expect unpaid developers to make one for them ?
