Re: native json parsing

Yeah, pointers are way too complicated to use... I'm trying to think of

Pointers have get set methods and can store all PureData types, and it's very fast, if not the the fastes method. Meanwhile, it's dedied to graphical stuff and not very convenient for users that are not very very experimented, and maybe also for the experimented ones, otherwise there would be already many proposals for managing pointers.

Just mentioning it in case it sparks anything off for anyone, please disregard if not!
