Sven, I'm not asking about the parser for the literal array but the parser to parse the literal array itself, but I think you've answered my question (indirectly:) The original reason for going with JSON 9 months ago was that since GemStone does not have a accessible parser for Smalltalk syntax, I need to choose an export format for "objects" that included a portable parser for the syntax ... Presumably your implementation assumes the existence of a Smalltalk literal parser (I think that is what I was able to glean from Igor's mails) in which case I won't be able to use it (even if I thought it was usable from a readability standpoint:).
