json_comments is a library to strip out comments from JSON-like text. By processing text
through a [StripComments] adapter first, it is possible to use a standard JSON parser (such
as serde_json with quasi-json input that contains
comments.
In fact, this code makes few assumptions about the input and could probably be used to strip comments out of other types of code as well, provided that strings use double quotes and backslashes are used for escapes in strings.
The following types of comments are supported:
- C style block comments (/* ... */)
- C style line comments (// ...)
- Shell style line comments (# ...)
```rust use serdejson::{Result, Value}; use jsoncomments::StripComments;
fn main() -> Result<()> { // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes form the user. let data = r#" { "name": /* full */ "John Doe", "age": 43, "phones": [ "+44 1234567", // work phone "+44 2345678" // home phone ] }"#;
// Strip the comments from the input (use as_bytes() to get a Read).
let stripped = StripComments::new(data.asbytes());
// Parse the string of data into serdejson::Value.
let v: Value = serdejson::fromreader(stripped)?;
println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]);
Ok(()) } ```
