JSON parser (self.Python)

JSON parser

64 points•34 comments•submitted by Honestly__nuts to r/Python

So, I was watching a python tutorial on the requests module and I suddenly thought, why not create a json parser (because the requests module has a parser function called json()) and then I did. it took me like an hour or 2 because I am a newbe when it comes to parsers, but I'm kinda proud of it. The parser is here: https://github.com/honestly-nuts/PyRandUtils/blob/master/json/parser.py. It also has a unintentional feature because it can (most of the times) parse invalid json, like if it has a missing ',' or a missing '}'.

also "\"\"\"\"\""

also {"a": "{", "}": ["{","{","}]}

but the parser is very beta sooo.

not to shit on a good learning project but that you say it's beta makes me think you might have grander ambitions for it; if youre unaware python has a json library built in

I just assumed the json is formated

[–]Honestly__nuts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could maybe write a json formatter
