Parsing a family tree


Now that we are more familiar with logic programming, let's use it to solve an interesting problem. Consider the following family tree:

John and Megan have three sons - William, David, and Adam. The wives of William, David, and Adam are Emma, Olivia, and Lily respectively. William and Emma have two children - Chris and Stephanie.

Even though we have not explicitly specified anything about the grandparent or uncle relationships, logic programming can infer them.

These relationships are specified in a file called relationships.json provided for you. The file looks like the following:

{ 
      "father":  
      [
