I was sending the string I mentioned starting with "var Categories = ....".
Looks like I somehow need to translate the Categories and DB to some json tree, but I don't know how to do it.
For output I need a lisp list/tree structure describing the same data something like
'(:category "Cat1" (:name "Item1" :item-num 8) (:name "Item2" :iten-num 9)).
Should I resort to flex/bison or I can just use the libraries available for common lisp?
Thank you,
Andrew

Hmm, what exactly are you parsing?
Javascript? No in that case it can't be parsed. Not that json is not
javascript, it is a subset of the javascript object notation.
What exaclty are you sending, in a string, to lisp?
Categories is an array, and DB is an object, so both have to be
encoded to json. I would use some json client side library for that
purpose. They are all around, in Dojo or Prototype or stand alone.
Best wishes,
