How to Parse Zon like Json during Runtime?

At Runtime, I only know that: There are keys named: name version dependencies. I just want to get the values like: const parsed = parse_my_zon(runtime_string); std.debug.print("{s}", parsed.name); for (parsed.dependencies) |dependency| { std.debug.print("{s}", dependency.key_name); std.debug.print("{s}", dependency.url); std.debug.print("{s}", dependency.hash); } .{ .name = .foo, .version = "0.0.0", .fingerprint = 0x1879e3171df18555, .minimum_zig_version = "0.…

also maybe take a look at the code for Zigistry: A registry for all Zig-lang packages and programs which is by the OP and likely uses an updated version to parse the dependencies of packages. (Haven’t looked into its current implementation)
