PyTiled Parser is a Python Library for parsing JSON formatted Tiled Map Editor maps and tilesets to be used as maps and levels for 2D top-down (orthogonal, hexogonal, or isometric) or side-scrolling games in a strictly typed fashion.
PyTiled Parser is not tied to any particular graphics library, and can be used with Arcade, Pyglet, Pygame, etc.

The Arcade library has supporting code to integrate PyTiled with that 2D libary, and example code showing its use.
Original module by Beefy-Swain. Significant contributions from pvcraven and Cleptomania.
