1 2 howTheyApply

Documentation for 1_2_howTheyApply from the Json remedy repository.

Based on my analysis, here are the 19 out of 23 functions from Documents 1 & 2 that actually apply to the new Elixir layered architecture and should be considered for implementation:

Functions That Should Be Considered for the New Architecture

High Priority (9 functions) - Essential for core functionality:

  1. ARRAY - Context enum value needed for Layer 2 state machine
  2. ContextValues - Enum/type for parsing contexts needed for Layer 2 state tracking
  3. JsonContext - Context tracking needed for Layer 2 structural repairs and Layer 3 syntax fixes
  4. OBJECT_KEY - Context enum value needed for Layer 2 and Layer 3 context-aware parsing
  5. OBJECT_VALUE - Context enum value needed for Layer 2 and Layer 3 context-aware parsing
  6. missing_quotes - State flag for quote repair needed in Layer 3 for adding missing quotes
  7. parse_boolean_or_null - Boolean/null parsing needed for Layer 3 literal normalization
  8. rstring_delimiter_missing - State flag for missing closing quotes needed in Layer 3
  9. unmatched_delimiter - State flag for quote parity tracking needed in Layer 3

Medium Priority (8 functions) - Would enhance existing functionality:

  1. STRING_DELIMITERS - Constant for supported quote types needed in Layer 3 for quote normalization
  2. doubled_quotes - State flag for tracking doubled quotes useful in Layer 3 quote normalization
  3. get_char_at - Safe character access utility useful across all layers for bounds checking
  4. parse_array - Array-specific parsing logic could enhance Layer 2 structural repairs
  5. parse_number - Number parsing with fallback useful for Layer 3 number normalization
  6. parse_object - Object-specific parsing logic could enhance Layer 2 structural repairs
  7. skip_to_character - Character search utility useful for lookahead operations in all layers
  8. skip_whitespaces_at - Whitespace handling utility useful across all layers

Low Priority (2 functions) - Nice to have improvements:

  1. parse_comment - Comment parsing logic (already partially implemented in Layer 1, could be enhanced)
  2. stream_stable - Flag for streaming/incomplete JSON handling useful for Layer 3

Summary by Layer:

  • Layer 1 (Content Cleaning): 1 function - enhanced comment parsing
  • Layer 2 (Structural Repair): 4 functions - context enums and specialized parsing logic
  • Layer 2 & 3 (Shared): 3 functions - core context tracking types
  • Layer 3 (Syntax Normalization): 8 functions - state flags and parsing utilities
  • All Layers (Utilities): 3 functions - character navigation and bounds checking

Functions NOT Relevant (4 out of 23):

  • JSONParser - Monolithic parser class replaced by layered pipeline
  • parse - Main orchestrator replaced by pipeline process/2 functions
  • parse_json - Central dispatcher replaced by layer-specific processing
  • init - Constructor method (Elixir uses different initialization patterns)

The high-priority functions focus on context tracking and state flags that are essential for the sophisticated repair logic described in the original analysis, while the medium-priority functions provide utility functions and specialized parsing logic that would enhance the current implementation.
