json5

About

go-json5 is a JSON5 parser/unmarshaler written in Go.

Installing

Using go get

$ go get github.com/rolldever/go-json5

Example

JSON5 example (see json5.org):

{
    foo: 'bar',
    while: true,

    this: 'is a \
multi-line string',

    // this is an inline comment
    here: 'is another', // inline comment

    /* this is a block comment
       that continues on another line */

    hex: 0xDEADbeef,
    half: .5,
    delta: +10,
    // to: Infinity,   // and beyond!

    finally: 'a trailing comma',
    oh: [
        "we shouldn't forget",
        'arrays can have',
        'trailing commas too',
    ],
}

Parsing using go-json5:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rolldever/go-json5"
)

func main() {
	var json5Bytes []byte = ...

	// or simply `interface{}` if you know nothing about the JSON5 source
	var obj map[string]interface{}

	if err := json5.Unmarshal(json5Bytes, &obj); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(obj)
}

Unmarshaling to a struct:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rolldever/go-json5"
)

type SomeStruct struct {
	Foo         string   `json:"foo"`
	This        string   `json:"this"`
	Hex         int      `json:"hex"`
	StringArray []string `json:"oh"`
}

func main() {
	var json5Bytes []byte = ...

	var obj SomeStruct
	if err := json5.Unmarshal(json5Bytes, &obj); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(obj)
}
