+Using lexer dynamic_complete
+============================
+
+Demonstrates how to use ``lexer='dynamic_complete'`` and ``ambiguity='explicit'``
+
+Sometimes you have data that is highly ambiguous or 'broken' in some sense.
+When using ``parser='earley'`` and ``lexer='dynamic_complete'``, Lark will be able
+parse just about anything as long as there is a valid way to generate it from
+the Grammar, including looking 'into' the Regexes.
+
+This examples shows how to parse a json input where are quotes have been
+replaced by underscores: ``{_foo_:{}, _bar_: [], _baz_: __}``
+Notice that underscores might still appear inside strings, so a potentially
+valid reading of the above might in normal json be:
+``{"foo_:{}, _bar": [], "baz": ""}``
