Bases: SymbolTableInterface

The IntermediateSymbolTable class reads a JSON file and conducts common tasks such as validation, construction by looking up a JSON file from the available files and ensuring the appropriate version of the schema and proxy are chosen.

The JSON format itself is made up of various groups (symbols, user_types, base_types, enums and metadata)

Symbols link a name to a particular offset relative to the start of a section of memory
Base types define the simplest primitive data types, these can make more complex structure
User types define the more complex types by specifying members at a relative offset from the start of the type
Enums can specify a list of names and values and a type inside which the numeric encoding will fit
Metadata defines information about the originating file

These are documented in JSONSchema JSON files located in volatility3/schemas.

Instantiates a SymbolTable based on an IntermediateSymbolFormat JSON file. This is validated against the appropriate schema. The validation can be disabled by passing validate = False, but this should almost never be done.
