Json Node Types

JSON data format node type mappings for AST semantic extraction

Node Categories

Document Structure

Top-level JSON document

JSON document is the root container for all content. Valid JSON must have exactly one root value.

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
document DEFINITION_MODULE NONE Document - root JSON container

Object Structure

JSON object constructs

JSON objects: - Unordered key-value collections - Keys must be strings - { "key": value, "key2": value2 }

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
object LITERAL_STRUCTURED NONE Object - { key: value, ... }
pair PATTERN_DESTRUCTURE FIND_PROPERTY Key-value pair - "key": value

Array Structure

JSON array constructs

JSON arrays: - Ordered collections of values - Mixed types allowed - [ value1, value2, value3 ]

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
array LITERAL_STRUCTURED NONE Array - [ value, ... ]

Literals and Values

JSON primitive values

JSON value types: - Strings: "text" (double quotes required) - Numbers: 42, 3.14, -1e10 - Booleans: true, false - Null: null

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
string LITERAL_STRING NODE_TEXT String literal - "text"
number LITERAL_NUMBER NODE_TEXT Number literal - 42, 3.14, -1e10
true LITERAL_ATOMIC NODE_TEXT Boolean true - true
false LITERAL_ATOMIC NODE_TEXT Boolean false - false
null LITERAL_ATOMIC NODE_TEXT Null value - null

String Content

String internals

String components: - Content between quotes - Escape sequences: \n, \t, \", \\, \uXXXX

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
string_content LITERAL_STRING NODE_TEXT String content - text inside quotes
escape_sequence LITERAL_STRING NODE_TEXT Escape sequence - \n, \uXXXX, etc.

Punctuation

JSON syntax tokens

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
{ PARSER_DELIMITER NODE_TEXT Opening brace - {
} PARSER_DELIMITER NODE_TEXT Closing brace - }
[ PARSER_DELIMITER NODE_TEXT Opening bracket - [
] PARSER_DELIMITER NODE_TEXT Closing bracket - ]
: PARSER_PUNCTUATION NODE_TEXT Colon - key-value separator :
, PARSER_PUNCTUATION NODE_TEXT Comma - element separator ,

Parser Error Handling

Parser error nodes

Node Type Semantic Type Name Extraction Description
ERROR PARSER_SYNTAX NODE_TEXT Parse error node
