I was thinking more recently on this matter.
Why was the JSON parser dropped? I remember it having some bugs and crashes, it wasn't stable, but was it really difficult to fix?
I can imagine the .ini parser being a little bit "crude" and not supporting some variations in the format, but I haven't tested it.
If one put effort into fixing these, would they be merged again?
This is just a couple of questions, not actually an issue with this project. It's just because I think it would be fairly interesting to have built-in JSON in the Korn Shell instead of parsing it manually --- I even tried it once --- or using jq, which is an external binary and will be obviously slower.
