[Jsonpath] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-bormann-jsonpath-iregexp-02.txt

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

In preparation for tomorrow’s interim meeting, I submitted a version of iregexp that is further streamlined (by removing multi-character escapes, i.e., \s, \d, \w and their uppercase equivalents, which caused more complexity than one would think).

This should now be really easy to implement on most platforms that do have a somewhat modern (Unicode-capable) regexp flavor.  One can lament the loss of multi-character escapes, but these were a cause of interoperability surprises with regexps before.

I hope we can pick this up for solving jsonpath issue #70.

See you all in < 9 hours!

Grüße, Carsten
