Background Story

I wanted to parse out a GitHub API response consisting of all of my repositories. The problem is, there are too many JSON elements to parse out manually. I needed a way to parse out specific the JSON elements values only, automatically. So I built this!

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install Python.
3. Install Pip.
4. Place your JSON file in the root directory of this repository (see example.json).
5. Adjust the script to parse out the JSON elements you want (see json_parser.py - lines 7-9 currently set to parse out the first instance of "name").
6. Run the script: python json_parser.py
7. View the output in the output.txt file.

Resources

• Python
• Pip
