devel/py-json5 0.15.0 MidnightBSD

pyjson5 is a Python implementation of the JSON5 data format.

JSON5 extends the JSON data interchange format to make it slightly more usable as a configuration language:

• JavaScript-style comments (both single and multi-line) are legal.
• Object keys may be unquoted if they are legal ECMAScript identifiers
• Objects and arrays may end with trailing commas.
• Strings can be single-quoted, and multi-line string literals are allowed.

This project implements a reader and writer implementation for Python; where possible, it mirrors the standard Python JSON API package for ease of use.

There is one notable difference from the JSON api: the load() and loads() methods support optionally checking for (and rejecting) duplicate object keys; pass allow_duplicate_keys=False to do so (duplicates are allowed by default).
