- Description:
This project is a comprehensive JSON parser featuring both a lexer and a parser. Its primary objective is to efficiently parse JSON strings into Python objects. - Purpose:
The JSON parser supports all valid JSON data types, including strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and objects. It incorporates robust error handling and provides an intuitive API for seamless JSON parsing. - Features:
- Supports parsing JSON strings with all valid data types
- Incorporates error handling mechanisms
- Offers a simple and intuitive API for JSON parsing
- Audience:
Developers who require JSON parsing capabilities in their Python applications
- Prerequisites: Python 3.6 or later
- Installation: Install using pip:
pip install json-parser
- Configuration: No configuration required
- Environment: Any Python environment
- First Run: Import the
json_parser
module and utilize thelex()
function for tokenization andparse()
function for constructing Python objects.
- Components:
lexer.py
: JSON string tokenizationparse.py
: JSON token parsing into Python objects
- Relationships: The lexer tokenizes the JSON string, and the parser uses these tokens to build a Python object.
- Functionalities: Tokenization and parsing of JSON strings into Python objects
- Architecture: Modular design with independent lexer and parser modules. The parser relies on tokens generated by the lexer to build Python objects.
- Scenarios:
- Parsing JSON data from web APIs
- Parsing JSON data from files
- Code Samples:
import json_parser json_string = '{"key": "value"}' tokens = json_parser.lex(json_string) json_object = json_parser.parse(tokens)
