# The `jsonparse` package
The `jsonparse` package provides an easy 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 `\JSONParseGetValue`, certain entried 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:
```
{
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Smith",
"is_alive": true,
"age": 27,
"address": {
"street_address": "21 2nd Street",
"city": "New York",
"state": "NY",
"postal_code": "10021-3100"
},
"phone_numbers": [
{
"type": "home",
"number": "212 555-1234"
},
{
"type": "office",
"number": "646 555-4567"
}
],
"children": [
"Catherine",
"Thomas",
"Trevor"
],
"spouse": null
}
```
We can store it in the token variable `\myJSONdata` using the command `\JSONParseFromFile{\myJSONdata}{example.json}`. Calling the command `\JSONParseGetValue{\myJSONdata}{phone_numbers[0].number}` would then result in the output `212 555-1234` (indices are zero-based per default).
This package including all files is subject to the LPPL 1.3c license.
