[asterisk-dev] AMI syntax

[jg]

Mark!

Thank you very much for your answer. This is pretty much the way I got my stuff implemented 
right now. BTW, I am using  Ragel (http://www.complang.org/ragel/) to do the low level work 
which comes with nice error handling and recovery features. I could easily allow for a looser 
syntax, but then error handling gets increasingly more difficult.

  I currently do not allow embedded newline characters in the value, though this could be 
handled. I accept more than 2 \r\n to terminate a response or an event, which at lease a couple 
of years ago was necessary to handle. So reading is a bit more flexible compared to what you 
described. Sending commands is done by the strict rules.
