A simple JSON parser written in Python in for educational purposes. I think JSON is a fun language to write a parser for because of its simplicity.

• Python 3

1. Clone/download the project repo to your machine

2. Move the python_json_parser directory into your project directory

3. Import the module at the top of your file:

   import python_json_parser

4. Call the load_json_string and pass a JSON string to it to convert the JSON string into a Python object:

   json_string = '''
   {
       "first name":"Arthur",
       "last name": "Dent",
       "age":42,
       "interests": [
           "flying",
           "sandwich making"
       ]
   }
   '''
   result = python_json_parser.load_json_string(json_string)
