JSON for Humans, allows comments and is less error prone.
Project description
hjson-py
Hjson, the Human JSON. A configuration file format for humans. Relaxed syntax, fewer mistakes, more comments.
Hjson works with Python 2.5+ and Python 3.3+ (based on simplejson)
Installation
pip install hjson
or download from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hjson
Usage
import hjson
Decoding Hjson
text = """{
foo: a
bar: 1
}"""
hjson.loads(text)
Result:
OrderedDict([('foo', 'a'), ('bar', 1)])
Encoding Python object hierarchies
hjson.dumps({'foo': 'text', 'bar': (1, 2)})
Result:
{ foo: text bar: [ 1 2 ] }
Encoding as JSON
Note that this is probably not as performant as the simplejson version.
hjson.dumpsJSON(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
Result: '["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'
From the Commandline
Use hjson.tool to validate and convert.
python -m hjson.tool [FORMAT] [INFILE [OUTFILE]]
Formats:
-h: print Hjson
-j: print formatted JSON
-c: print compact JSON
E.g. echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -m hjson.tool
