This program reads a JSON file and creates a schema based on the data types of the values in the message attribute if it exists. The schema includes a unique key for each attribute, the attribute's data type, and common fields like "tag", "description", and "required".

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/devtosxn/python-json-sniff.git

2. Switch into root directory

cd python-json-sniff

3. Create and activate a virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run the tests, from the project directory, run the command:

python3 -m unittest test_program.py

To run the program, run the following command in the root directory:

python3 main.py

By default, the program runs in strict mode which means that any data type that was not defined in the PROBLEM.md specification will be returned as "undefined" based on the specified rules. This will populate schema_1.json with the results of the sniffing algorithm

To run the program for a different json file, specify the path to the file in main.py
