jp — Json Parser

This is my attempt at creating a JSON validator in C.

Future work

• Backtraces (why/where did it fail?):
  ** an initial version of this is now included
• Better parsing (stop making use of recursive functions, better parsing
  techniques, etc.)

Why another validator?

Learn about parsing, and practice my C skills.

Why C?

I am writing a lot of Rust code, and I’ve always wanted to learn C. Might also
implement this in Rust and compare the two implementations performance wise.

How to build and run

• Build: make
• Run: ./jp -f /path/to/file.json

Input:

{
    "dsa\u1233"
    :
    tru
}

Output:

0: Failed to match value at line: 8, col: 4
1: Failed to match "true" at line: 8, col: 7
