It Takes a Long Time to Fix a JSON Parser

So, about a month and a half ago I published a change to my JSON Converter. Shortly after that fix was published I discovered a whole new bug relating to the parsing where an object ends.

And it turns out that when you have a family with some very active children and a full time job and you've also had to sort out various other bits of administration, you really don't have much time to fix bugs on your pet projects.

That said, I've now had a Sunday afternoon to myself where I've had both the time and the energy to make that fix, so now the JSON parser should be working far better than before.

The war I mentioned in that piece seems to have ended, but the genocide in Gaza continues. Our prime minister has spoken out about it but to me these words ring hollow. In my opinion, the government's actions are nothing more than a cynical exercise in political communications, a way of giving the appearance of concern while doing as little as possible. I remain ashamed and angry at my goverment's actions.
