If you don't mind slurping the whole file into memory you can
do it with regexps. First divide the file into part containing nodes and another one containing edges. Than do a match similar to this:
while($nodepart =~ m/node\s* \{\s* title:\s* "([^"]*)"\s*
loc\s* \{\s* x:\s* (\d+)\s* y:\s* (\d+)\s* \}\s*
\}\s*/gx){
build_the_structure_with_captured_node($1,$2,$3);
}
And another one for the edges.
Most of languages have some regexp library - so this can work.
Update: The s modifier was not needed - \s matches a newline without it.
