a library to parse JSON tree data to make life easier when working with JSON data

JSONJ

JsonJ is a simple Python Library that allows parsing Complicated Nested Json tree to a Simple Json data. This Library allows converting Complicated Nested Json Data to an Intermediate Simple Json Data, which make it easier to process the original data.

Example Data Conversion

########################## FROM #########################################
{"menu": {
  "id": "file",
  "value": "File",
  "popup": {
    "menuitem": [
      {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
      {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
      {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
    ]
  }
}}

###########################  TO #########################################
{
  'menu': {
   'path': 'menu',
   'isRoot': True,
   'children': ['menu/id', 'menu/value', 'menu/popup']
  },
  'menu/id': {
   'path': 'menu/id',
   'isRoot': False,
   'children': []
  },
            .
            .
            .
  'menu/popup/menuitem/2/value': {
   'path': 'menu/popup/menuitem/2/value',
   'isRoot': False,
   'children': []
  },
  'menu/popup/menuitem/2/onclick': {
   'path': 'menu/popup/menuitem/2/onclick',
   'isRoot': False,
   'children': []
  }
}

As you can see, this converted format is Elegant and can be Applied to a Various Task.

Converted Data Format Description

            .
            .
            .
'menu/popup/menuitem/2/value': {
   'path': 'menu/popup/menuitem/2/value',
   'isRoot': False,
   'children': []
  },
            .
            .
            .

• The key of the data is set to be the path of that particular node from the root Node
• Each Key has a value which in turn is a simple Json with 3 parameters.
  • path: The path of the particular node from the root node (same as that of the key)
  • isRoot: Either it's a Root node or not
  • children: Wheather the particular node has any children or not

Installation

$ pip3 install JsonJ

Usage

from JsonJ import JsonJ
json = JsonJ(<sample_json_data>)

NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE THE JSON DATA IS VALID, AS OF NOW THE LIBRARY DOES NOT CHECK WHETHER THE DATA IS VALID OR NOT, BUT THIS VALIDATION WILL BE DONE SOON

Detailed Usage

- get_parsed_data() - This function call returns the Intermediate Parsed data
- clean() - This function call clears all the data saved in local variables
