CCJP - Another JSON Parser

This project is a custom implementation of a JSON parser. It was created as part of a coding challenge here. The utility is designed to validate and parse JSON files, as well as run predefined tests on JSON datasets to ensure their correctness.

Features

• Validate JSON files for syntax and structural correctness.
• Identify and report detailed errors in JSON files.
• Run predefined tests on JSON files to verify their validity.
• Efficiently parse and validate JSON from files up to 100MB in size.
• Command-line interface (CLI) powered by Cobra for easy usage.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• You need to have Go installed on your machine (Go 1.15 or later is recommended).
• You can download and install Go from https://golang.org/dl/.

Installing

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/nullsploit01/cc-json-parser.git
cd cc-json-parser

Building

Compile the project using:

go build -o ccjp

Testing

go test ./...

Usage

To run the utility, you can either validate a JSON file or run predefined tests. The command-line interface (CLI) provides flags for different operations:

Validate a JSON file:

./ccjp --json-parser path/to/file.json

Run predefined tests:

./ccjp --run-tests

This command runs predefined tests on JSON files located in the test directories (./test_data/pass and ./test_data/fail). The tests check whether the files pass or fail as expected.

Examples

./ccjp --json-parser test_data/pass/valid_3.json
