A comprehensive test suite for RFC 8259 compliant JSON parsers, with additions to test the publicly available JSON parsers for the Delphi ecosystem.
This repository was created as an appendix to the article Parsing JSON is a Minefield 💣.
/parsers/
This directory contains several parsers and tiny wrappers to turn the parsers into JSON validators, by returning a specific value.

/test_parsing/
The name of these files tell if their contents should be accepted or rejected.
y_content must be accepted by parsersn_content must be rejected by parsersi_parsers are free to accept or reject content
/test_transform/
These files contain weird structures and characters that parsers may understand differently, eg:
- huge numbers
- dictionaries with similar keys
- NULL characters
- escaped invalid strings
These files were used to produce results/transform.html.
/run_tests.py
Run all parsers with all files:
$ python3 run_tests.py
Run all parsers with a specific file:
$ python3 run_tests.py file.json
Run specific parsers with all files:
$ echo '["Python 2.7.10", "Python 3.5.2"]' > python_only.json
$ python3 run_tests.py --filter=python_only.json
The script writes logs in results/logs.txt.
The script then reads logs.txt and generates results/parsing.html.
