If you don't need interoperability with non-LiveCode systems, the choice 
couldn't be easier: LSON is the LC way.

But if you don't need interoperability, you wouldn't need to write a 
parser, since LC includes a good one built into the engine.

If you're talking with Mark you won't need my notes. He knows a thing or 
two about LC's array formats. :)
