Description: # json-templates
        
        A small python module for populating json template files.
        
        ### Version 0.1.0
        
        Accepts either a json string or a file path and a dictionary. json-template replaces the place holders found in the json with those found in the dictionary.
        
        Below is a template example
        
        ```json
        {
          "key":"hard coded value",
          "key2":1,
          "key3":"{{ variable }}",
          "key4":"{% array %}"
        }
        ```
        
        Currently supports `{{ variable }}` for single replacement and `{% array %}` for iterable replacement.
        
        For example given the following dictionary
        ```python
        {
          "variable":"hello world",
          "array":["foo","bar"]
        }
        ```
        
        The JSON would become
        
        ```json
        {
          "key":"hard coded value",
          "key2":1,
          "key3":"hello world",
          "key4":["foo","bar"]
        }
        ```
        ### Usage
        
        ```python
        import JsonTemplates
        
        json_tmp = JsonTemplates()
        result = json_tmp.load("template.json")
        
        if result[0]:
          new_dict = json_tmp.generate({"variable":"hello world","array":["foo","bar"]})
        ```
        
        ### Methods
        
        - **load(json_file_path)** - Loads a JSON file  
        Returns a tuple (Success,error message or dictionary)
        
        - **loads(json_str)** - Loads a JSON string  
        Returns a tuple (Success,error message or dictionary)  
        
        - **generate(replacement_dict)** - Takes in a dictionary of replacement values and generates a new dictionary with the placeholders replaced with the values in the dictionary  
        Returns a tuple (Success, error message or dictionary)
