By sheer randomness I was having the thought about it today: I made some code to highlight where the stdlib json module sees the mistakes in JSON decoding in the python stdlib. I used the exception with string "blabal at line x, col y, char(c - d)" to actually highlight (ANSI colors) WHERE the mistake were. https://gist.github.com/jul/406da833d99e545085dac2f368a3b850#file-test-png https://gist.github.com/jul/406da833d99e545085dac2f368a3b850... I played a tad with it, and the highlighted area for missing separators, unfinished string, lack of identifier were making no sense. I thought I was having a bug. Checked and re-checked. But, No. I made this tool because, whatever the linters are I was always wondering why I was not able to edit or validate json (especially one generated by tools coded by idiots) easily. I thought I was stupid thinking json were complex. Thanks.
