Parse nested function call string in javascript

问题

I want to parse the following string (using Javascript):

color(alias(sumSeries(sys.mem.free.*),"memory (free)"),"#00AA88")

into an array of function names and arguments:

[["color", "#00AA88"],
 ["alias", "memory (free)"],
 ["sumSeries", ""]]

plus extract the innermost string

sys.mem.free.*

The string is actually the target parameter from graphite. I don't want to write a parser myself (dealing with things like double quotes and brackets is hard to get right). Is there a library which helps with basic parsing?

Since it's not JSON I cannot go for a JSON parser.
