AST to JSON Converter

This Python module provides a utility function ast_to_json which takes a Python Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and converts it to a dictionary. The dictionary can be serialized to JSON. This is useful for scenarios where you need to analyze or manipulate the Python Abstract Syntax tree in a programming language other than Python. I tried to make the implementation similar to ast.dump to preserve the structure of the abstract syntax trees.

Installation

To install this module, simply clone the repository and import the function into your Python script:

import ast
from typing import Any, Dict
import json
import astjson

with open("your_python_program.py") as f:
    program = f.read()
t = ast.parse(program)
print(json.dumps(astjson.ast_to_json(t), indent=2))
