JSON format where possible #23

Closed kowey closed 11 years ago

The lexicon and test suite have no business using a custom ad-hoc format. Now that I know a perfectly acceptable lightweight standard language exists for this this thing (JSON), I should just use it to make life simpler for everybody.

Backward compatibility would be nice. I guess we'll have to support both, maybe even extend geniconvert?

Macros file probably unchanged. No real gain from JSON-ifying that. Feature structures may be tricky. We'll have to think about this a bit

Wontfix this. JSON is pretty useless for anything other than machine interchange -- no comments.
