Advent of Kotlin: Week 4
We've started this advent with JSON stringify. This week, we will do the opposite: JSON parsing.
The process of parsing is transforming a string with an object representing an objects in JSON format into a representation of this object. Here is an example:
assertEquals(
JsonObject(
"o" to JsonObject(
"a" to JsonString("AAA"),
"b" to JsonNumber(123.45),
"c" to JsonBoolean(true),
"d" to JsonBoolean(false),
"e" to JsonNull,
)
),
parseJson("""{"o":{"a":"AAA","b":123.45,"c":true,"d":false,"e":null}}""")
)
In this exercise, you might find regex really useful. If you don't know it, this course might be useful.
Here you the definition of the JSON parse function:
Here is the JsonElement definition:
Here are unit tests:

I wish you the best of luck in this and future challenges and can't wait to see your solutions :)
