JSON for Humans.

JSON is great. Until you miss that trailing comma... or want to use comments. What about multiline strings? JSONH provides a much more elegant way to write JSON that's designed for humans rather than machines.

Since JSONH is compatible with JSON, any JSONH syntax can be represented with equivalent JSON.

JsonhRs

JsonhRs is a parser implementation of JSONH V1 & V2 for C# .NET.

Example

{
    // use #, // or /**/ comments
    
    // quotes are optional
    keys: without quotes,

    // commas are optional
    isn\'t: {
        that: cool? # yes
    }

    // use multiline strings
    haiku: '''
        Let me die in spring
          beneath the cherry blossoms
            while the moon is full.
        '''
    
    // compatible with JSON5
    key: 0xDEADCAFE

    // or use JSON
    "old school": 1337
}

Usage

Everything you need is contained within JsonhReader:

use jsonh_rs::*;

let jsonh: &str = r#"
{
    this is: awesome
}
"#;
let element: Value = JsonhReader::parse_element_from_str(jsonh, JsonhReaderOptions::new()).unwrap();

Limitations

In comparison to JsonhCs, this Rust implementation has some limitations.

No 'infinity' fallbacks

While JSON doesn't have infinity or not-a-number, 1e99999 is sometimes used to represent infinity.

This is correctly parsed, but it cannot be converted to a serde_json::Value due to a limitation with serde_json.
