json5 0.2.3

A Python implementation of the JSON5 data format.

A Python implementation of the JSON5 data format.

JSON5 extends the JSON data interchange format to make it slightly more usable as a configuration language:

• JavaScript-style comments (both single and multi-line) are legal.

• Object keys may be unquoted if they are legal JavaScript field names.

• Objects and arrays may end with trailing commas.

• Strings can be single-quoted, and multi-line string literals are allowed.

There are a few other more minor extensions to JSON; see the above page for the full details.

This project implements a reader and writer implementation for Python; where possible, it mirrors the standard Python JSON API for ease of use.

This is an early release. It is not well-tested, and has not been tuned for performance.
