Demjson does your work, but it is very slow, and I mean very slow comparison with simplejson. I do not recommend it for the production environment.
ast.literal_eval () and yaml also do not work on all json, so you need a more stable solution like simplejson.
If you tweak simplejson a bit, this may do your job. I did it myself and shared this code.
I say it in 2 points
1) Download simplejson from github and add it to your project. 2) Now simplejson has a decoder.py python file. Replace this file code with this code
"""Implementation of JSONDecoder """ from __future__ import absolute_import import re import sys import struct from .compat import u, text_type, binary_type, PY3, unichr from .scanner import make_scanner, JSONDecodeError def _import_c_scanstring(): try: from ._speedups import scanstring return scanstring except ImportError: return None c_scanstring = _import_c_scanstring()
2) simplejson has a scanner.py python file. Replace this file code with this code
"""JSON token scanner """ import re from .errors import JSONDecodeError def _import_c_make_scanner(): try: from ._speedups import make_scanner return make_scanner except ImportError: return None c_make_scanner = _import_c_make_scanner() __all__ = ['make_scanner', 'JSONDecodeError'] NUMBER_RE = re.compile( r'(-?(?:0|[1-9]\d*))(\.\d+)?([eE][-+]?\d+)?', (re.VERBOSE | re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL)) def py_make_scanner(context): parse_object = context.parse_object parse_array = context.parse_array parse_string = context.parse_string parse_single_quoted_string = context.parse_single_quoted_string match_number = NUMBER_RE.match encoding = context.encoding strict = context.strict parse_float = context.parse_float parse_int = context.parse_int parse_constant = context.parse_constant object_hook = context.object_hook object_pairs_hook = context.object_pairs_hook memo = context.memo def _scan_once(string, idx): errmsg = 'Expecting value' try: nextchar = string[idx] except IndexError: raise JSONDecodeError(errmsg, string, idx) if nextchar == '"': return parse_string(string, idx + 1, encoding, strict) elif nextchar == "'": return parse_single_quoted_string(string, idx + 1, encoding, strict) elif nextchar == '{': return parse_object((string, idx + 1), encoding, strict, _scan_once, object_hook, object_pairs_hook, memo) elif nextchar == '[': return parse_array((string, idx + 1), _scan_once) elif nextchar == 'n' and string[idx:idx + 4] == 'null': return None, idx + 4 elif nextchar == 't' and string[idx:idx + 4] == 'true': return True, idx + 4 elif nextchar == 'f' and string[idx:idx + 5] == 'false': return False, idx + 5 m = match_number(string, idx) if m is not None: integer, frac, exp = m.groups() if frac or exp: res = parse_float(integer + (frac or '') + (exp or '')) else: res = parse_int(integer) return res, m.end() elif nextchar == 'N' and string[idx:idx + 3] == 'NaN': return parse_constant('NaN'), idx + 3 elif nextchar == 'I' and string[idx:idx + 8] == 'Infinity': return parse_constant('Infinity'), idx + 8 elif nextchar == '-' and string[idx:idx + 9] == '-Infinity': return parse_constant('-Infinity'), idx + 9 else: raise JSONDecodeError(errmsg, string, idx) def scan_once(string, idx): if idx < 0:
Now you are all set up. Simplejson is the fastest and most stable library I used.
I changed a few lines of code in simplejson and now this amazing library works for
- Unsorted json keys and single json strings and keys
I changed only the Python code. Therefore, if you use the C extension to speed up acceleration, this code will not work.
