[C#] Gaia JSON

[Butts]

It's json. You shouldn't be using regular expressions to parse json documents. There's plenty of libraries out there, often built in to the language to do this. I'm not too well versed on .NET, but using regex to parse a json document is a fairly unintuitive approach (the only argument I'd be willing to concede on is if you have to include a 3rd party library, in which case the performance loss may outweigh the gains if it's for a simple, one-off action).

yeah regex is bad practice as well and it's not advised to use it all the time. if regex didn't satisfy their needs then it's exactly what you said artificial. some languages even have spiffy json decoding functions and i've never really liked c# only used it a few times. also, welcome back arti :*
