jsom is a simple and quick Python 3.7+ parser for terribly broken JSON.
$ pip install jsom
jsom works like this:
>>> import jsom
>>> broken_json = "{\"foo\": {bar: 1, 'baz':,}, bar: 1, baz: [1,2,3,],}")
>>> jsom.JsomParser(ignore_warnings=jsom.ALL_WARNINGS).loads(broken_json)
{'foo': {'bar': 1, 'baz': None}, 'bar': 1, 'baz': [1, 2, 3]}jsom happily gobbles up the following:
- unquoted keys and values
- single-quoted strings
- trailing commas
- empty values in objects
By default, it will warn you whenever it sees one of those, but still parse it.
It also doesn't give a shit about:
- Newlines in strings
- Stray backslashes
You will never get warned about those. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Warnings are annoying, though, and to make matters worse, they slow the
parser down - so just pass in the list of warnings you want jsom to be quiet
about in the ignore_warnings parameter:
parser = JsomParser(
ignore_warnings=[jsom.SINGLE_QUOTED_STRING, jsom.EMPTY_OBJECT_VALUE]
)
Or, if you prefer, just tell it to shut up completely, by passing in
jsom.ALL_WARNINGS.
