AS3 minimal-json parser

Ilona

We are having a problem where our spine JSON output files are too big and slowing our game down. We tried using the minimal setting and this could help reduce the file size. But the Adobe native JSON parser does not support minimal-json files and I can't seem to find one that does. Does anyone know if there is a JSON parser for ActionScript 3 that can parse minimal files? I'm also worried this is not the solution as the parsing could maybe take longer and slow the game down that way. Anyone has experience with this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I wrote the JSON parser for libgdx which can handle the "minimal" JSON-like format. Probably the loading performance wouldn't change very much though. The best solution is using the binary format, but unfortunately this is currently only supported by spine-libgdx because the format has been changing so much lately.
