Determining if JSON is a valid pyui file

Webmaster4o

When I'm outside of Pythonista, what are defining characteristics of pyui files that I might use to separate these from other JSON files?

I'd say, list of dict with ('class', 'View') as one of its items and 'frame' as another key would be pretty telling. But it wouldn't provide 100% absolute dead-sure unmistakable certainty, I'm afraid, so don't use this if trying to control a nuclear reactor or pacemaker

@Olaf lol, thanks. No nuclear reactors, so I'm good.

@Webmaster4o , maybe not what you are looking for, but couldn't you write an extra key out to the files. I assume they would be ignored by Pythonista
