Hi,

I wouldn't do it, in the end you'll endup re-inventing the wheel a 50th
time.
If you think the minimum parser isn't sufficient, it's time to think of
using another one.
As I already pointed out previously we do have an apache project for JSON
stuff.
At this point if it is really needed and not a simple string parsing and
done with it.
Go for a full featured JSON lib, which is already OSGi ready.

regards, Achim
