naan_reg_public

This is a public representation of the information contained in the private NAAN registry records.

The content is expressed in JSON and is generated using a python script executed by a GitHub action that retrieves the current copy of the main_naans file from the NAAN registry, parses the ANVL, and generates the JSON records as a single JSON document and also as a folder hierarchy of individual JSON records.

The artifacts are published using GitHub pages, accessible at:

https://cdluc3.github.io/naan_reg_public/

The conversion script

scripts/naan_reg_json.py provides a tool for converting NAAN registry ANVL to JSON.

The script performs the following operations:

1. Generate public JSON representation of the private ANVL formatted NAAN records.
2. Augment the NAAN JSON file with a JSON representation of the shoulder_registry records.
3. Apply known corrections to the generated JSON through a list of manually configured "magic" files.

Note that several functions performed by this script will be deprecated in conjunction with progression of the migration from the legacy N2T system in 2024.
