Aren't we going to end up writing at least a shiv here as a go-between for the javac compiler and either the Syntax Tree Serializer or a JSON syntax tree?

Additionally, are we going to have said shiv work directly with the syntax tree serializer or will it write to JSON and the serializer can read that?

I suppose with the former option, you're right that we don't write anything at the lexical analyzer level and I was just misunderstanding these two levels.
