I'm trying to find a parser for python that can parse the data structure (to a python dictionary) that is written below (this data structure was taken from var variable in javascript).

{
 a: "a",
 b: 54,
 c: [
 {
 d: "d",
 e: false
 },
 {
 f: "f"
 }
 ]
};

  • You could probably use json, which is Javascript-Object-notation after all... Commented Oct 10, 2017 at 21:47
  • Hmm, actually, no you couldn't, because a, b etc would have to be strings. Commented Oct 10, 2017 at 21:51

demjson.decode() 

import demjson
# from
js_obj = '{x:1, y:2, z:3}'
# to
py_obj = demjson.decode(js_obj)

jsonnet.evaluate_snippet() 

import json, _jsonnet
# from
js_obj = '{x:1, y:2, z:3}'
# to
py_obj = json.loads(_jsonnet.evaluate_snippet('snippet', js_obj))

ast.literal_eval() 

import ast
# from
js_obj = "{'x':1, 'y':2, 'z':3}"
# to
py_obj = ast.literal_eval(js_obj)

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to somehow link the answer I got this from, so I copied/pasted instead. Source: stackoverflow.com/questions/24027589/…
The ; in the end needed to be removed from my string and it will work with demjson, Thanks.
Unfortunately none of these tools can be installed anymore
