i agree with the guy above, you must start using github when you can. jack is screwed up partly because the guys who handled the engine left without docs
your json handler will work great for codes with syntax errors but most bugs in jack are caused by codes that have proper syntax that still end up with wrong results. if you have wrong syntax in jack it will end up with fatal errors like in frobozzdamad's 1.7.4. json errors in jack have correct syntax, they are caused by filenames in the json files not matching the filenames of the image files.
version 1.7.5 got rid of most syntax errors. i don't know much about later mods. from what i read they added all kinds of new bugs the latest mod being the buggiest.
i support your project remaking jack from a crappy engine plus adding modding capabilities. that's great if you can pull it off. i just hope you have the stomach for it. jack modding history is full of guys who give up in the middle of their projects, that's why it's so buggy. there's oldhuntsman getting in trouble with russian authorities; beaver14 and powerairmax adding json capability and other stuff then abandoning the mod after a few months complaining of exhaustion; the guy who tried remaking jack 2 in godot; the guy working on 1.7.4 who did not bother correcting fatal errors.
crushboss with his 1.7.5 made the least buggy version, fixing the errors of previous versions. he also complained of exhaustion and eventually left jack modding but at least he only left after fixing known bugs. you'll find very little if any syntax errors in 1.7.5 even if you still find bugs that are not caused by syntax errors.
piece of advice: if you can find it use 1.7.5 in this unity remake.
