Json Comment

A wrapper to JSON parsers allowing comments and multiline strings

Dependencies

Python 2.7, 3.3

Optional

ujson 1.30+

Description

JSON Comment allows to parse JSON files or strings with:

• Single and Multi line comments
• Multi line data strings

This package works with any JSON parser which supports:

• load(fp, ...) to parse files
• loads(s, ...) to parse strings

by adding a preprocessor to these calls.

Comments

• # and ; are for single line comments
• /* and */ enclose multiline comments

Inline comments are not supported

Multiline strings

Any string can be multiline, even object keys.

• Multiline strings start and end with """, like in python
• The preprocessor merges all lines to a single standard string
• A single trailing space is kept, if present
• New line is not kept. To hard code new lines in the string, use \\n

Usage

Install

pip install jsoncomment

OR

• Download source
• python setup.py install

Call Example

import json
from jsoncomment import JsonComment

string = "[]"
parser = JsonComment(json)
parsed_object = parser.loads(string)
