Json dissect with python
hello,

I'm trying to parse a json file and print out each element along with some related infos such type and value.

I would like to do that in python and I found a nice support to quickly load the json file, instead I found a bit more difficult the information extraction.

Example, I have this json file:
Code:
{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary",
            "GlossList": {
                "GlossEntry": [
                {
                    "ID": "SGML",
                    "SortAs": "SGML",
                    "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym": "SGML",
                    "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossSee": "markup"
                }
                ]
            }
    }
}

I can easly load with:
Code:
import json
..
json_file = json.load(file)
..

Now I would like to print out such infos:
Code:
"glossary" is an object, its dept level is 0
"title" is a string, its dept level is 1, its value is "example glossary"
"GlossList" is an object, its dept level is 1
"GlossEntry" is an array, its dept level is 3
....
....

The json lib easly allows to match a object->dict and array->list.
How could I loop through the json file easly and print such infos?

thanks

D

json(3tcl)							       JSON								json(3tcl)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       json - JSON parser

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.4

       package require json  ?1.1.2?

       ::json::json2dict txt

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The json package provides a simple Tcl-only library for parsing the JSON http://www.json.org/ data exchange format as specified in RFC 4627
       http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt.  There is some ambiguity in parsing JSON because JSON has type information that is not  maintained	by
       the Tcl conversion.  The json package returns data as a Tcl dict.  Either the dict package or Tcl 8.5 is required for use.

COMMANDS

       ::json::json2dict txt
	      Parse JSON formatted text txt into a Tcl dict and return the value.

EXAMPLES

       An example of a JSON array converted to Tcl.  A JSON array is returned as a single item with multiple elements.

	      [
		  {
		     "precision": "zip",
		     "Latitude":  37.7668,
		     "Longitude": -122.3959,
		     "Address":   "",
		     "City":	  "SAN FRANCISCO",
		     "State":	  "CA",
		     "Zip":	  "94107",
		     "Country":   "US"
		  },
		  {
		     "precision": "zip",
		     "Latitude":  37.371991,
		     "Longitude": -122.026020,
		     "Address":   "",
		     "City":	  "SUNNYVALE",
		     "State":	  "CA",
		     "Zip":	  "94085",
		     "Country":   "US"
		  }
	      ]
	      =>
	      {Country US Latitude 37.7668 precision zip State CA City {SAN FRANCISCO} Address {} Zip 94107 Longitude -122.3959} {Country US Latitude 37.371991 precision zip State CA City SUNNYVALE Address {} Zip 94085 Longitude -122.026020}

       An example of a JSON object converted to Tcl.  A JSON object is returned as a multi-element list (a dict).

	      {
		  "Image": {
		      "Width":	800,
		      "Height": 600,
		      "Title":	"View from 15th Floor",
		      "Thumbnail": {
			  "Url":    "http://www.example.com/image/481989943",
			  "Height": 125,
			  "Width":  "100"
		      },
		      "IDs": [116, 943, 234, 38793]
		  }
	      }
	      =>
	      Image {IDs {116 943 234 38793} Thumbnail {Width 100 Height 125 Url http://www.example.com/image/481989943} Width 800 Height 600 Title {View from 15th Floor}}
