This is a json parser in Jai. Tested in beta 0.2.025

There is a breaking change in the parser, where the result or success bool is returned as the first value, which is encouraged in Jai.

I was trying to do some lsp work for fun, and decided to write my own json parser.

1. Support pointer.
2. Support built-in Hash_Table
3. Support built-in Tagged union (introduced in 0.2.023, not the module one)

Hash_Table support is a nightmare to deal with. Serializing Json into Jai Hash_Table is very hard. I created a Dumb_Table module just for dealing with that. I am not sure whether the Dumb_Table thing worth its separate module. A lot of pointer work is needed. Currently, only Hash_Table with string as Key_Type is supported.

There are a few functions you may want to use.

result, json := parse_json(s);

// or a helper function to read directly from file
result, json := parse_json_from_file(file_path);

// Print the json
formatted_json_string := json_print(json);

apple: Fruit;

ok, j := to_json(*apple);

result = from_json(json, *apple);

For more, you may look into examples.
