JSONERINO

JSONERINO is a lightweight json parser written in ruby. with no dependencies. It also contains a command line tool for validating json files (check below).

Usage

First of all you need to add the following to your Gemfile

gem 'jsonerino'

Then you need to run bundle install.

After that you can use it to parse json by calling the parse method

require 'jsonerino'

p Jsonerino::parse('nil') == nil # true

output = Jsonerino::parse('[{"name" : "Alex", "age" : 15 }]')

p output == [{"name" => "Alex","age" => 15}] # true

Calling the parse method will convert the json string to it's corresponding ruby representation.

Using the included json validator

• Run gem install jsonerino
• Run jsonerino <file|directory> If no filename is provided. jsonerino will try to parse all the JSON files that are in your current working directory.

Invalid JSON Examples

{ "foo: true }

Will throw "End of data reached while reading JSON contents" error. Because the parser will interpret everything after the first double quotes character as a string and it continues reading until it finds a closing double quotes. But in this case it doesn't which is why an error is thrown.

{ "hey": foo }

Will throw "Unexpected token foo". Because foo is an unkown identifier. The allowed identifiers in JSON are true, false, and null. And in this case the error can be fixed by wrapping it in a string.
