Parse a structured JSON expert-system file

resy_parse_json.Rd

Reads a structured JSON expert-system definition file into the internal `resy_parsed_expert` format consumed by [resy_classify()].

The JSON file must have the following top-level keys:

`metadata`

Object with `scheme` and `version` (both strings). Optional: `description`, `source_file`.

`synonyms`

Object mapping each canonical name (key) to an array of accepted spelling variants / author-cited synonyms (value). An empty array means the canonical name has no known aliases.

`groups`

Object mapping each species-group name (key, including its solver prefix such as `"### "`, `"##D "`…) to an array of canonical member species.

`rules`

Array of objects, each with `priority` (character 0–9 or letter), `code` (string), `description` (string), and `expression` (string using the formula syntax, e.g. `"<#TC Beech-forest-trees GR 15>"`). Keys starting with `_` (e.g. `"_comment"`) are silently ignored.

Usage

resy_parse_json(path)

Arguments

path

Path to a `.json` expert-system file.

Value

A list of class `resy_parsed_expert`, identical in structure to the output of [resy_load_expert()].
