json¶

JavaScript Object Notation parser.

Numbers become Number tokens, true, false and null become Name.Constant tokens, strings are yielded in string contexts, with String tokens and possibily String.Escape tokens for escaped characters.

Objects ({ ... }) become object contexts with alternating key and value child contexts. Arrays ([ ... ]) become array contexts.

In this module:¶

Language	Name (Aliases)	Description	Filename(s)	Mime Type(s)
`Json`	JSON	JavaScript Object Notation format	`*.json`	`application/json`

class Json[source]¶

Bases: parce.language.Language

root¶

classmethod values()[source]¶

object¶

key¶

value¶

array¶

string¶

class JsonTransform[source]¶

Bases: parce.transform.Transform

Transforms a Json expression tree to the Python equivalent.

root(items)[source]¶

values(items)[source]¶: Yield values like the Json.values() classmethod generates.

object(items)[source]¶

key(items)[source]¶

value(items)[source]¶

array(items)[source]¶

string(items)[source]¶

Example:¶

Root lexicon Json.root and text:

Text rendered using default theme

{
  "comment": "JSON example",
  "title": "Frescobaldi",
  "background": "background.png",
  "icon-size": 80,
  "contents": [
    { "x": 449, "y": 320, "type": "link", "path": "/Applications"},
    { "x": 188, "y": 320, "type": "file", "path": "../dist/Frescobaldi.app"},
    { "x": 100, "y": 70, "type": "file", "path": "../README.txt" },
    { "x": 100, "y": 185, "type": "file", "path": "../ChangeLog.txt" },
    { "x": 540, "y": 70, "type": "file", "path": "../COPYING.txt" }
  ]
}
