Description: # pyjson5
        
        A Python implementation of the JSON5 data format.
        
        [JSON5](https://json5.org) extends the
        [JSON](http://www.json.org) data interchange format to make it
        slightly more usable as a configuration language:
        
        * JavaScript-style comments (both single and multi-line) are legal.
        
        * Object keys may be unquoted if they are legal ECMAScript identifiers
        
        * Objects and arrays may end with trailing commas.
        
        * Strings can be single-quoted, and multi-line string literals are allowed.
        
        There are a few other more minor extensions to JSON; see the above page for
        the full details.
        
        This project implements a reader and writer implementation for Python;
        where possible, it mirrors the
        [standard Python JSON API](https://docs.python.org/library/json.html)
        package for ease of use.
        
        There is one notable difference from the JSON api: the `load()` and
        `loads()` methods support optionally checking for (and rejecting) duplicate
        object keys; pass `allow_duplicate_keys=False` to do so (duplicates are
        allowed by default).
        
        This is an early release. It has been reasonably well-tested, but it is
        **SLOW**. It can be 1000-6000x slower than the C-optimized JSON module,
        and is 200x slower (or more) than the pure Python JSON module.
        
        ## Known issues
        
        * Did I mention that it is **SLOW**?
        
        * The implementation follows Python3's `json` implementation where
          possible. This means that the `encoding` method to `dump()` is
          ignored, and unicode strings are always returned.
        
        * The `cls` keyword argument that `json.load()`/`json.loads()` accepts
          to specify a custom subclass of ``JSONDecoder`` is not and will not be
          supported, because this implementation uses a completely different
          approach to parsing strings and doesn't have anything like the
          `JSONDecoder` class.
        
        * The `cls` keyword argument that `json.dump()`/`json.dumps()` accepts
          is also not supported, for consistency with `json5.load()`. The `default`
          keyword *is* supported, though, and might be able to serve as a
          workaround.

            * [GitHub issue #30](https://github.com/dpranke/pyjson5/issues/30):
               Fix an issue where dumps() incorrectly thought a data structure
               was cyclic in some cases.
            * [GitHub issue #32](https://github.com/dpranke/pyjson5/issues/32):
               Allow for non-string keys in dicts passed to ``dump()``/``dumps()``.
               Add an ``allow_duplicate_keys=False`` to prevent possible
               ill-formed JSON that might result.
        
        * v0.8.5 (2019-07-04)
            * [GitHub issue #25](https://github.com/dpranke/pyjson5/issues/25):
              Add LICENSE and README.md to the dist.
            * [GitHub issue #26](https://github.com/dpranke/pyjson5/issues/26):
              Fix printing of empty arrays and objects with indentation, fix
              misreporting of the position on parse failures in some cases.
        
        * v0.8.4 (2019-06-11)
            * Updated the version history, too.
        
        * v0.8.3 (2019-06-11)
            * Tweaked the README, bumped the version, forgot to update the version
              history :).
        
        * v0.8.2 (2019-06-11)
            * Actually bump the version properly, to 0.8.2.
        
        * v0.8.1 (2019-06-11)
            * Fix bug in setup.py that messed up the description. Unfortunately,
              I forgot to bump the version for this, so this also identifies as 0.8.0.
        
        * v0.8.0 (2019-06-11)
            * Add `allow_duplicate_keys=True` as a default argument to
              `json5.load()`/`json5.loads()`. If you set the key to `False`, duplicate
              keys in a single dict will be rejected. The default is set to `True`
              for compatibility with `json.load()`, earlier versions of json5, and
              because it's simply not clear if people would want duplicate checking
              enabled by default.
        
        * v0.7 (2019-03-31)
            * Changes dump()/dumps() to not quote object keys by default if they are
              legal identifiers. Passing `quote_keys=True` will turn that off
              and always quote object keys.
            * Changes dump()/dumps() to insert trailing commas after the last item
              in an array or an object if the object is printed across multiple lines
              (i.e., if `indent` is not None). Passing `trailing_commas=False` will
              turn that off.
            * The `json5.tool` command line tool now supports the `--indent`,
              `--[no-]quote-keys`, and `--[no-]trailing-commas` flags to allow
              for more control over the output, in addition to the existing
              `--as-json` flag.
            * The `json5.tool` command line tool no longer supports reading from
              multiple files, you can now only read from a single file or
              from standard input.
            * The implementation no longer relies on the standard `json` module
              for anything. The output should still match the json module (except
              as noted above) and discrepancies should be reported as bugs.
        
        * v0.6.2 (2019-03-08)
            * Fix [GitHub issue #23](https://github.com/dpranke/pyjson5/issues/23) and
              pass through unrecognized escape sequences.
        
        * v0.6.1 (2018-05-22)
            * Cleaned up a couple minor nits in the package.
        
        * v0.6.0 (2017-11-28)
            * First implementation that attempted to implement 100% of the spec.
        
        * v0.5.0 (2017-09-04)
            * First implementation that supported the full set of kwargs that
              the `json` module supports.
