PY-JD: Python JSON Descriptor

PY-JD is an algorithm written in Python that iterates through all JSON object properties using Tree Traverse technique and describes distinct information in three different patterns for easy diff check.

Usage

Consider this JSON input:

sample.json

{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary",
        "GlossDiv": {
            "title": "S",
            "GlossList": {
                "GlossEntry": {
                    "ID": "SGML",
                    "SortAs": "SGML",
                    "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym": "SGML",
                    "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossDef": {
                        "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
                        "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
                    },
                    "GlossSee": "markup"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Must import references from module json_descriptor, see example below:

import json_descriptor
import json


file_path: str = 'sample.json'
with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf8') as file:
  content_str: str = file.read()
  content: dict = json.loads(content_str)
  regular_navigation, json_contract, jmespath_list = json_descriptor.get_descriptor_details(content)
  with open(file_path.replace('.json', '-regular_navigation.txt'), 'w', encoding='utf8') as regular_navigation_file:
      regular_navigation_file.write(regular_navigation)
  with open(file_path.replace('.json', '-json_contract.json'), 'w', encoding='utf8') as json_contract_file:
      json_contract_file.write(json_contract)
  with open(file_path.replace('.json', '-jmespath_list.json'), 'w', encoding='utf8') as jmespath_list_file:
      jmespath_list_file.write(jmespath_list)

Patterns:

Pattern 1 - Regular Navigation:

sample-regular_navigation.txt

[+] root (type: dict)
.[+] glossary (type: dict) | (JMESPath: glossary[])
..[-] title (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].title)
..[+] GlossDiv (type: dict) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[])
...[-] title (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].title)
...[+] GlossList (type: dict) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[])
....[+] GlossEntry (type: dict) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[])
.....[-] ID (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].ID)
.....[-] SortAs (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].SortAs)
.....[-] GlossTerm (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossTerm)
.....[-] Acronym (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].Acronym)
.....[-] Abbrev (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].Abbrev)
.....[+] GlossDef (type: dict) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[])
......[-] para (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].para)
......[+] GlossSeeAlso (type: list) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].GlossSeeAlso[])
.......[-] field of 'GlossSeeAlso' (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].GlossSeeAlso[])
.....[-] GlossSee (type: str) | (JMESPath: glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossSee)

Pattern 2 - JSON Contract:

sample-json_contract.json

{
    "root": [{
        "glossary": [{
                "title": "str"
            },
            {
                "GlossDiv": [{
                        "title": "str"
                    },
                    {
                        "GlossList": [{
                            "GlossEntry": [{
                                    "ID": "str"
                                },
                                {
                                    "SortAs": "str"
                                },
                                {
                                    "GlossTerm": "str"
                                },
                                {
                                    "Acronym": "str"
                                },
                                {
                                    "Abbrev": "str"
                                },
                                {
                                    "GlossDef": [{
                                            "para": "str"
                                        },
                                        {
                                            "GlossSeeAlso": [{
                                                "field of 'GlossSeeAlso'": "str"
                                            }]
                                        }
                                    ]
                                },
                                {
                                    "GlossSee": "str"
                                }
                            ]
                        }]
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }]
}

Pattern 3 - JMESPath List:

sample-jmespath_list.json

[
    "",
    "glossary[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].Abbrev",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].Acronym",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].GlossSeeAlso[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].GlossSeeAlso[]",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossDef[].para",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossSee",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].GlossTerm",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].ID",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].GlossList[].GlossEntry[].SortAs",
    "glossary[].GlossDiv[].title",
    "glossary[].title"
]
