Continuing to build our parsing skills and hone our ability to think recursively, this assignment provided practice with recursively nested lists. We continued to use a lexical analyzer to parse the list into tokens. Upon inspection of these tokens, we could ask questions to determine whether or not we were in fact looking at a recursive list or not. Carefully developed conditional checks and return statements were all that was needed. In the end, we were getting even closer to be able to parse a JSON object.
