No, sorry, there's no current support in Saxon for parsing JSON. It's something I would like to add. One possibility is to parse it into the format defined by John Snelson at http://snelson.org.uk/archives/2008/02/parsing_json_in.php. Another possibility is to parse it into a combination of maps, sequences, and atomic values (using the new Map extension in Saxon 9.3). If you have input on the requirements, and use cases, please share them!

I'm currently working on a long term project to support lossless JSON-XML mapping. Its got a way to go. But some of the early phases will be released shortly (by next week) in the next version of xmlsh (www.xmlsh.org) This includes a parser and serializer of JSON to/from a specific JSON XML format which can accomidate any JSON data losslessly. However I consider it an 'intermediate format' because the XML is very JSON specific. Its simple though, so can be parsed with Saxon (xslt/xquery/xpath) very trivially, and in fact uses saxon internally. An simple example JSON: { "foo" : "bar" , "array" : [1 , 2 , "three" ]} XML (lets hope the tags survive the post) [quote] bar 1 2 three [/quote] I will post back here when this is released (soon!). Look for the "json2xml" and "xml2json" commands. -David Lee dlee@calldei.com www.xmlsh.org
