About

This is a JSON parser that:

• Tokenizes a JSON file
• Parses the resulting tokens
• Returns a python object representing the JSON data (dict, for example)

You can find JSON examples in the examples directory, and you can find a test in test_parser.py, where it asserts that "parser.loads(data) == json.loads(data)" for the JSON example files.

Details

parser.py contains three classes:

• Token
  • the class that represents a single token, which is a pair of:
    • the token type (for example: left bracket) and
    • a literal (for example: "[")
• Lexer
  • the class that is responsible for generating these tokens
• Parser
  • the class that is responsible for parsing the tokens, i.e., making sure they are syntactically correct and converting them into a Python representation

Limitation

-It lacks a more specific error handling (no detailed exceptions)
