I couldn't find anything except
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-01/msg00307.html so
I wanted to ask if it would be reasonable to add YAML and JSON C library
bindings to the Emacs core without waiting for FFI capabilities.
Thanks
Ted

I'd welcome such interfaces, but indeed, it'd have to go through an FFI.
This said, "waiting for FFI capabilities" is probably not a winning
suggestion, since if everybody does it, it won't ever arrive.

I'd also love such bindings. That's why we need an FFI.

:-) No argument re needing an FFI. But as a selfish end-user, I
dont mind how we get that binding:-)
By the way, Emacspeak turned 20 last week --- I wrote up a short
history --- Thanks again to everyone in the Emacs community for
making it possible to live ones computing life in emacs --- without that
fact, Emacspeak would not be very useful:-)

I followed up to Aurélien Aptel's message about dynamic loading here. It
seems like our best direction for this work.
