"""
This module will parse the JSON file following the BNF definition:
<json> ::= <container>
<primitive> ::= <number> | <string> | <boolean>
; Where:
; <number> is a valid real number expressed in one of a number of given formats
; <string> is a string of valid characters enclosed in quotes
; <boolean> is one of the literal strings 'true', 'false', or 'null' (unquoted)
<container> ::= <object> | <array>
<array> ::= '[' [ <json> *(', ' <json>) ] ']' ; A sequence of JSON values separated by commas
<object> ::= '{' [ <member> *(', ' <member>) ] '}' ; A sequence of 'members'
<member> ::= <string> ': ' <json> ; A pair consisting of a name, and a JSON value
If something is wrong (a missing parantheses or quotes for example) it will use a few simple heuristics to fix the JSON string:
- Add the missing parentheses if the parser believes that the array or object should be closed
- Quote strings or add missing single quotes
- Adjust whitespaces and remove line breaks
All supported use cases are in the unit tests
