yajl-py is a Pure Python wrapper (implemented using ctypes) to the excellent Yajl (Yet Another JSON Library) C library.

yajl and yajl-py, allow for fast stream parsing of JSON files, which enables the parsing of large files, that would not fit in memory.

• python 2.6 (or compatible)
• yajl

To run the tests you also require:

• make (to run make test)
• nose (debian package == python-nose)
• MiniMockTest (pip install minimocktest)

From within the current directory run:

python setup.py install

    - OR Alternatively -

pip install .

To install from pypi:

pip install yajl-py

The examples directory contains full featured JSON Parsers built using yajl and yajl-py. See examples/README.rst for more info.
