Re parsing: there's work being done on Wuffs which is meant for decoding data formats safely and efficiently. It's a new language, but it's one that compiles into C code.
It's a Google project, and I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually makes its way into Chrome.

- tylerhou 5y agoWuffs is not a Google project; it's a project whose code happens to be owned by Google. Most likely it's some engineer's side project and while I wouldn't be surprised if it was incorporated into a Google project, it's definitely not inevitable. It has probably the same odds as any other well-maintained open source project.
- vinkelhake 5y agoI fully acknowledge that the README says that it's not an official Google product. But rather than debating the exact "Google status" of the project, here's the tracking bug[1] for its integration into Skia (the low level graphics library in Chromium). Here's the tracking bug[2] for its integration into Flutter.
