IP-API.com - Geolocation API[^] is a little web service to get a bunch of info about where you're at based on your IP (or an IP you give it)
I use it for my little internet clocks to fetch the timezone since they don't have GPS.
It can return values in CSV, JSON or other formats.
Arduino already has stream.readStringUntil(',') so parsing CSV seemed trivial. For quite awhile I was doing that.
On a lark, I decided to swap it out to use JSON and my little JSON pull parser for embedded.
The resulting code is actually a bit shorter than the CSV approach. And it doesn't take a lot of RAM because it's a pull parser (like XmlReader), and not a DOM
I'm leaving it in JSON
I love when stuff like that happens.

But no honoring of quotes and escapes?

Of course it does.
I should amend that: The CSV technique did not. The JSON technique does. In this case it doesn't matter, because the data formats are all known ahead of time. It's not generalized.

That is what I thought too. I had rolled my own JSON parser because the data was in a set format. Did not think I needed a whole big JSON library. Everything was humming along nicely until I was about 110,000 reads in, then the website threw in a different format and it all went boom. The fix was easy, but what a pain. I was glad I was the only one using the code.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

JSON is a bit different than CSV though. My JSON is compliant.

I have been using VS 2022 17.7.4 on my home box for a while.
A few weeks again I set up a VM and installed VS2022 17.9.6.
In 17.7.4, the region collapse/expand icons are plus/minus signs in a little box. Pretty clear to see and understand.
In 17.9.6, they use ^ and > sumbols, which, IMHO, is a lot harder for your eyes to figure out.
Why would they change this????
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.β
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Personally, I don't mind it.
At first I thought it was a resharper or visual assist thing.

I do mind it. Not only do the new icons look horible, it's just the fact that they would change it. I mean, why???
This is the sort of thing that drives devs mad. Leave things alone!!! It wouldn't be so bad if they created an option to change it an defaulted it to the previous setting, but to just go about changing the UI that devs are used to with zero warning is just rediculous.

You missed it Kevin. He's poking at you. But seriously, changing defaults on developers is just an abortion. Dear MS, I have a really good elephanting idea. If you think what you are doing is better, let us have the option of "we disagree, make it go back".
The only thing worse I have ever seen MS do (maybe I'll make a website and had ads...) is force reboots. Whoever made the final decision on that needs to be beaten to the point of hospitalization (not the morgue). Free points if you can cite the movie.

I know, right? And then they do NOT actually fix what devs have been begging them to fix, such as:
Microsoft Developer Community - Full Git Submodule Support[^]
Look in the comments in the thread of that post and you'll see what I mean.
Look, it took them until VS2022 just to make the devenv.exe process a 64-bit process.

Ya, lot's of new 'features', but ZERO useful change

They figured they needed to provide a reason for people to write extensions to change it back?

Because they are more interested in form than function, and to "be more inclusive."

Maybe they do it to reduce confusion. A squared + is a plus, but a squared - is also a plus. 
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Perhaps MS should make these icons configurable. Config files are as old as eternity, isn't it?
Or, has MS already made these icons configurable ?
