class Lexer extends AnyRef
A simple lexer for tokens as they are used in JSON, plus parens (
, )
Tokens understood are:
(
, )
, [
, ]
, {
, }
, :
, ,
, true
, false
, null
,
strings (syntax as in JSON),
integer numbers (syntax as in JSON: -?(0|\d+)
floating point numbers (syntax as in JSON: -?(0|\d+)(\.\d+)?((e|E)(+|-)?\d+)?)
The end of input is represented as its own token, EOF.
Lexers can keep one token lookahead
