json example ? #lazyweb about parser.xq HOT 4 CLOSED

The Invisible XML paper doesn't really allow you to create a full parser for vocabs easily as it's missing a couple of features like better support for tokens and whitespace. I think I'm just going to make a decision on some extra syntax and add it to allow those things.

The XQuery function version of grammars can do that though. The syntax is kind of verbose, but you can use gr:char-range() or gr:codepoint-range() combined with the other grammar operators like gr:choice() and gr:one-or-more(). For instance look at the rule for "V" in samples/test.xq.

I'll add the examples I did for demo jam when I get a moment. It would also be easy enough to add a JSON example I think.
