python-jsonparser 1.0

# python-jsonparser

This package will help you to reduce your stress while parsing json in python. Follow the steps below for using python-jsonparser

1. Install the package from pypi

   pip install python-jsonparser

2. Now let’s assume we have a json object as below.

   dummy = {

   “name”: { “first_name”: “ABC”, “last_name”: “EFG” }, “details”: { “phone”:[“xxxxxxxxx”, “00xxxxxxx”, “0000000000”] } }

3. Now assume we want first_name, last_name and only first phone number from the list. For this create a class TestClass as below and inherit JSONParser from :

from json_parser import JSONParser

class TestClass(JSONParser):

first_name = ‘name/first_name’ last_name = ‘name/last_name’ phone = ‘details/$1’

4. Create instance of your class and pass the json object.

   test_obj = TestClass(dummy)

5. Now call the validate method from the object created.

   output = test_obj.validate()

6. You will have following as the output:

   { ‘first_name’: ‘ABC’, ‘last_name’: ‘EFG’, ‘phone’: ‘00xxxxxxx’ }

7. For getting the range of elements from the list you can use $x:$y

from json_parser import JSONParser

class TestClass(JSONParser):

first_name = ‘name/first_name’ last_name = ‘name/last_name’ phone = ‘details/$1:$3’

Output:

{ ‘first_name’: ‘ABC’, ‘last_name’: ‘EFG’, ‘phone’: [‘00xxxxxxx’, ‘0000000000’] }

8. This was all about single object. What if you have json list of objects. In that case set many=True while creating the instance of your class.

For example:

test_obj = TestClass(dummy, many=True)
