# pycparser: c_json.py
#
# by Michael White (@mypalmike)
#
# This example includes functions to serialize and deserialize an ast
# to and from json format. Serializing involves walking the ast and converting
# each node from a python Node object into a python dict. Deserializing
# involves the opposite conversion, walking the tree formed by the
# dict and converting each dict into the specific Node object it represents.
# The dict itself is serialized and deserialized using the python json module.
#
# The dict representation is a fairly direct transformation of the object
# attributes. Each node in the dict gets one metadata field referring to the
# specific node class name, _nodetype. Each local attribute (i.e. not linking
# to child nodes) has a string value or array of string values. Each child
# attribute is either another dict or an array of dicts, exactly as in the
# Node object representation. The "coord" attribute, representing the
# node's location within the source code, is serialized/deserialized from
# a Coord object into a string of the format "filename:line[:column]".
#
# Example TypeDecl node, with IdentifierType child node, represented as a dict:
#     "type": {
#         "_nodetype": "TypeDecl",
#         "coord": "c_files/funky.c:8",
#         "declname": "o",
#         "quals": [],
#         "type": {
#             "_nodetype": "IdentifierType",
#             "coord": "c_files/funky.c:8",
#             "names": [
#                 "char"
#             ]
#         }
#     }
