Json Preprocessor\'s Package Description

Getting Started

The JsonPreprocessor is a Python3 package which allows programmers to handle additional features in JSON files such as

• add comments
• import other json files
• overwrite already existing parameters with new values

These JSON files will be handled by the JsonPreprocessor which returns as result a dictionary object of the deserialized data.

How to install

The JsonPreprocessor can be installed in two different ways.

1. Installation via PyPi (recommended for users)

   • Install dependencies

     JsonPreprocessor requires some additional Python libraries. Before you install the cloned repository sources you have to install the dependencies manually. The names of all related packages you can find in the file requirements.txt in the repository root folder. Use pip to install them:

     pip install -r ./requirements.txt

     Additionally install LaTeX (recommended: TeX Live). This is used to render the documentation.

   • Configure dependencies

     The installation of JsonPreprocessor includes to generate the documentation in PDF format. This is done by an application called GenPackageDoc, that is part of the installation dependencies (see requirements.txt).

     GenPackageDoc uses LaTeX to generate the documentation in PDF format. Therefore GenPackageDoc needs to know where to find LaTeX. This is defined in the GenPackageDoc configuration file

     packagedoc\packagedoc_config.json

     Before you start the installation you have to introduce the following environment variable, that is used in packagedoc_config.json:

     • GENDOC_LATEXPATH : path to pdflatex executable

   • Use the following command to install JsonPreprocessor:

     setup.py install
