A JSON Parser
This is an implementation of a JSON parser in JavaScript:
Code View:
var json_parse = function () {
// This is a function that can parse a JSON text, producing a JavaScript //
data structure. It is a simple, recursive descent parser.
// We are defining the function inside of another function to avoid creating //
global variables.
var at, // The index of the current character
ch, // The current character
escapee = {
'"': '"'
'\\': '\\',
'/': '/',
b:
'b',
f:
'\f',
n:
'\n',
r:
'\r'
t:
'\t'
},
text,
error = function (m) {
// Call error when something is wrong.
throw {
name:
message:
m,
at:
at,
text:
text
};

'SyntaxError',

},
next = function (c) {
// If a c parameter is provided, verify that it matches the current character.
if (c && c !== ch) {
error("Expected '" + c + "' instead of '" + ch + "'");
}
// Get the next character. When there are no more characters, //
return the empty string.
ch = text.charAt(at);
at += 1;
return ch;
},
number = function () {
// Parse a number value.
var number,
string = '';
if (ch === '-') {
string = '-';
next('-');

}
while (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
string += ch;
next();
}
if (ch === '.') {
string += '.';
while (next() && ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
string += ch;
}
}
if (ch === 'e' || ch === 'E') {
string += ch;
next();
if (ch === '-' || ch === '+') {
string += ch;
next();
}
while (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
string += ch;
next();
}
}
number = +string;
if (isNaN(number)) {
error("Bad number");
} else {
return number;
}
},
string = function () {
// Parse a string value.
var hex,
i,
string = '',
uffff;
// When parsing for string values, we must look for " and \ characters.
if (ch === '"') {
while (next()) {
if (ch === '"') {
next();
return string;
} else if (ch === '\\') {
next();
if (ch === 'u') {
uffff = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i += 1) {
hex = parseInt(next(), 16);
if (!isFinite(hex)) {
break;
}
uffff = uffff * 16 + hex;
}
string += String.fromCharCode(uffff);
} else if (typeof escapee[ch] === 'string') {
string += escapee[ch];
} else {
break;
}
} else {
string += ch;
}

}
error("Bad string");
},
white = function () {
// Skip whitespace.
while (ch && ch <= ' ') {
next();
}
},
word = function () {
// true, false, or null.
switch (ch) {
case 't':
next('t');
next('r');
next('u');
next('e');
return true;
case 'f':
next('f');
next('a');

error("Bad array");
},

// Parse an object value.
var key,

if (ch === '{') {
next('{');
white();
if (ch === '}') {
next('}');
return object;
}
while (ch) {
key = string();
white();
next(':');

// empty object

object[key] = value();
white();
if (ch === '}') {
next('}');
return object;
}
next(',');
white();
}
}
error("Bad object");
};
value = function () {
// Parse a JSON value. It could be an object, an array, a string, a number,
// or a word.
white();
switch (ch) {
case '{':
return object();
case '[':
return array();
case '"':
return string();
case '-':
return number();
default:
return ch >= '0' && ch <= '9' ? number() : word();
}
};
// Return the json_parse function. It will have access to all of the above
// functions and variables.
return function (source, reviver) {
var result;
text = source;
at = 0;
ch = ' ';
result = value();
white();
if (ch) {

//
//

//
//

error("Syntax error");
}
If there is a reviver function, we recursively walk the new structure,
passing each name/value pair to the reviver function for possible
transformation, starting with a temporary boot object that holds the result
in an empty key. If there is not a reviver function, we simply return the
result.
return typeof reviver === 'function' ?
function walk(holder, key) {
var k, v, value = holder[key];
if (value && typeof value === 'object') {
for (k in value) {
if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(value, k)) {
v = walk(value, k);
if (v !== undefined) {
value[k] = v;
} else {
delete value[k];
}
}
}
}
return reviver.call(holder, key, value);
}({'': result}, '') : result;
};

}();
