dfsjson 1.1.2

A robust JSON encoder that fixes errors by utilizing DFS algorithm.

DFS JSON

A Depth First Search powered JSON decoding library. For the remaining operations (dump, dumps), it uses standard python JSON library.

Installation

pip install dfsjson

Usage

# Create a complex JSON object
example_json = """{
    "key1": "value1'
    "key2": [1 2, 3]
    "key3":  {
        "subkey1": "subvalue1"
        "subkey2": "subvalue2"
    ,
}"""

dj = DFSJson(max_depth = 100, max_diff = 10)
dj.loads(example_json)

Discussion

Hey I know this. Why not have you used Breadth First Search?

Technically you are correct but keep in mind that Breadth First Search keeps the previous states in its list which scales with number of iterations you are making and it can be a huge strain on the memory.

However, Depth First search requires only O(log(n)) memory complexity in which we can search a lot more possibilities.
