json5kit

A Roundtrip parser and CST for JSON, JSONC and JSON5.

Currently a work in progress

Currently supports parsing all of JSON syntax, and converting it back to source. Also supports single line // comments.

Installation

pip install json5kit

Usage

This is not the intended way to use the library. The correct way to modify a tree would be to use visitors, which will be added soon.

>>> source = """
... {
...   "items": [1, 2, 4],  // change this to 3
... }
... """
>>> import json5kit
>>> tree = json5kit.parse(source)
>>> print(tree.to_source())

{
  "items": [1, 2, 4],  // change this to 3
}

>>> tree.value.data[0][1].members[2] = json5kit.Json5Number('3', 3, [])
>>> print(tree.to_source())

{
  "items": [1, 2, 3],  // change this to 3
}
