The jsonparse
package
The jsonparse
package provides a handy way to read in JSON data from files or strings in LaTeX documents, parse the data and store it in a user-defined token variable. The package allows accessing the stored data via a JavaScript-flavored syntax.
Using the commands \JSONParseFromFile
or \JSONParse
, JSON data can be stored in a token variable. Using the command \JSONParseValue
, entries can be extracted from the stored data.
Let's assume a file with the name example.json
is stored in the working directory with the following contents:
{ "givenName": "Joe", "familyName": "Public", "points": 1.7, "hasCertification": true, "address": { "streetAddress": "10 Main St", "locality": "Cityville", "postalCode": "12345" }, "contactPoint": [ { "contactType": "office", "telephone": "+1 (555) 555-1234" }, { "contactType": "mobile", "telephone": "+1 (555) 555-6789" } ], "children": [ "Tom", "Doug", "Harry" ], "memberOf": null }
We can store it in the token variable \myJSONdata
using the command \JSONParseFromFile{\myJSONdata}{example.json}
. Calling the command \JSONParseValue{\myJSONdata}{contactPoint[0].telephone}
would then result in the output +1 (555) 555-1234
(indices are zero-based per default).
