Tsonnet #1 - JSON literals
Disclaimer: it's worth noting that ocamllex is not unicode friendly. I want Tsonnet to support unicode, but I'm postponing this complexity for later. Perhaps using the sedlex package for that.

query-json: A story of cross-compilation with Reason
Started with the goal to create something useful and learn during the process. Was very interested in learning about how to write parsers and compilers using the OCaml stack: menhir and sedlex, compile it to any architecture and try to compile it to JavaScript.

query-json: A story of cross-compilation with Reason
js_of_ocaml is a compiler that can be plugged to the OCaml's one and It makes it possible to run pure OCaml programs into JavaScript. As you can see, query-json uses menhir, sedlex and yojson
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sedlex and yojson you can also consider the following projects:
js_of_ocaml - Compiler from OCaml to Javascript.
bs-json - Compositional JSON encode/decode library for BuckleScript
bs-emotion - BuckleScript bindings to Emotion
query-json - Faster, simpler and more portable implementation of `jq` in Reason
