Overview

This is a JSON parser package for Tcl built using jsmn: a minimalist C header only JSON parser. Unlike jsmn on it's own which just spits out a series of tokens, this parser does actually convert the JSON to nested Tcl dict and list structures and replaces any \ escapes in strings like a normal parser to make them easy to use from Tcl.

Building

To build just run make and install with make install prefix=/usr/lib/tclVERSIONHERE

Requirements

• Tcl development headers (usually included with a normal Tcl install)
• C>=99 Compiler

Using

If you install it into your tcl lib directory you can load it with package require jsmn or you can put it anywhere and add it to your path lappend ::auto_path /my/path/here.

Example

Usage:

package require jsmn
set d [jsmn::parse {{"a": 123, "b": 456, "c": [1, 2, 3]}}]
puts [dict keys $d]
puts [dict values $d]

Output:

a b c
123 456 {1 2 3}
