cl-json is a Common Lisp parser and generator for JSON. Homepage : http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-json License : MIT What is JSON? ------------ JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

[closer-announce] [ANN] New versions of Closer libraries + AspectL
by Pascal Costanza 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

New versions of the libraries in the Closer Project have been released, including the Closer to MOP compatibility layer for the CLOS MOP and the ContextL extension for Context-oriented Programming. Furthermore, AspectL has been moved to the Closer Project, with its new version 0.7. Previously, it was an independent project that I haven't maintained anymore. Now that bitrot has started to increase, I have ported it to the Closer to MOP layer which turned out to be a surprisingly smooth process. This especially means that the number of Common Lisp implementations that it runs on has increased. Two bugs in Allegro Common Lisp that have led to problems in conjunction with AspectL have also been fixed in the meantime: A bug that has prevented a non-special slot to be turned into a special slot has been fixed in Allegro 7.0 and 8.0, and the limitation that a defmethod form doesn't accept more than one qualifier has been fixed in Allegro 8.0. Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 now supports the full functionality of AspectL. Furthermore, the following changes have been made to AspectL: - Some of the functionality was previously ported from AspectL to ContextL, mostly because it is not genuine aspect-oriented functionality. Those parts are now removed from AspectL implementation-wise in order to avoid code duplication. Instead, AspectL imports that functionality from ContextL, and exports it again for compatibility reasons. Existing AspectL code should mostly work as before. - Likewise, the CLOS MOP wrappers are completely removed because Closer to MOP supports compatibility across different CLOS MOP implementations much better. - Finally, the package structure is much simplified. Instead of placing every functionality in its own package, there is now the (previously already available) ASPECTL package from which everything can be imported. The previous scheme was too complicated and offered no obvious advantages. See http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/ for the Closer Project and http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/aspectl.html for AspectL.
