[Caml-list] Sexplib and js_of_ocaml

Dear all,

I recently noticed that sexplib parser fails with a "Too much recursion"
exception when run in the browser on a very moderately sized string
representation of an S-exp. I understand this is due to the absence of tail
call optimization (although js_of_ocaml performs it in the case of a single
recursive function). With this idea in mind, I suppose there is no simple
workaround, so I wanted to ask if anyone knew a convenient replacement for
serialization/deserialization that would work in the browser.

Cheers,
Philippe.

You can use parsexp [1], which implements the same parser as sexplib
and works well in javascript.
