Parsing in C++ with a DSEL : Boost.Spirit -- A JSON Parser Tutorial

Machinery, sensors, equipment, client/server communications, even file formats... Parsing and producing data streams are everywhere you look. Often these tasks are simple or small enough to tempt ad-hoc solutions. Boost.Spirit provides a DSEL (Domain Specific Embedded Language) that is simple enough to tackle those "quick hacks" and easily scales for full-featured AST generation.

Michael will introduce the Boost.Spirit library while we create a JSON parser. We will also discuss recursive variants and techniques to generate streams from data representations. Join us!
