Parser module implementation #6

Closed jackson15j closed 1 year ago

jackson15j commented 1 year ago

Rough thoughts around the Parser module to satisfy the requirements of:

Parse config files (JSON).
Gracefully ignore files that do not parse.
Config files read later on MUST override values.
Support other content schema`s outside of JSON.

Code wise, my thoughts currently are:

parsers module:
- IParser interface class for base file parsing to a parsed_dict.
- JsonParser class that implements JSON parsing.
- ... place for other file parser's. eg. YAML.

Parsing to a dictionary since it is a nested structure, built-in override updates, and look-ups in a similar form to dotted paths.
