json-litobj

This module extends Text.JSON to enable the decoding of strings containing literal JS objects. In particular, it relaxes the restriction that fields in JSON objects must be strings.

For example:

• JSON conformant:

{ "foo" : "bar" }

• literal JS object:

{ foo : "bar" }

Documentation

The haddock documentation can be found on hackage.

Motivation

I wanted to parse JSON responses from various websites with Text.JSON. Unfortunately, I ran into parsing errors due to literal JS objects included in the answer strings. Since literal JS object are not really part of the JSON format I started this module to work around this problem.

Contributing

If you feel that this module is missing something useful which should be part of a more ``permissive'' JSON parsing please consider a contribution.
