Example code issue

[tedx]

There are several syntax error in some of the example code. Here's a version that works:

import io
import ijson

Open a file

fo = open("foo.txt", "rb")
print ("Name of the file: ", fo.name)

line = fo.read(10)

Close opened file

fo.close()

parse_events = ijson.parse(io.BytesIO(b'["skip", {"a": 1}, {"b": 2}, {"c": 3}]'))
while True:
prefix, event, value = next(parse_events)
if value == "skip":
break
for obj in ijson.items(parse_events, 'item'):
print(obj)

@tedx your version of the example code seems to be a variation of that under the "Intercepting events" section of the documentation, but I don't think there was any problem with the original. Can you clarify what was the issue? Your version also unnecessarily opens and reads a file, so I don't understand why it's there.

Other code examples in the documentation are "incomplete" in the sense they assume certain functions exist, but the examples are only for demonstration purposes and are not meant to be fully runnable code.

The original code cut and pasted from https://github.com/ICRAR/ijson has a syntax error in that there is no colon at the end of:
for obj in ijson.items(parse_events, 'item')
and does not execute. I was just playing with the example and add some unnecessary code I should have been more careful about what I pasted into my original comment.

@tedx that was pretty clear now, thanks :), I just pushed a fix for that.
