Formats
Support multiple formats with ease.
Installation via PIP:
pip install --pre formatsQuick usage overview:
>>> import formats
>>> formats.discover()
>>> text = '''
... awesome_things:
... - dodos
... - pythons
... '''
>>> formats.parse('yaml', text)
{'awesome_things': ['dodos', 'pythons']}
>>> formats.convert('yaml', 'json', text)
'{"awesome_things": ["dodos", "pythons"]}'The Basics
Formats will provide you with a consistent API to parse and compose data.
Registering new formats
import formats
import someformat
formats.register('someformat', someformat.loads, someformat.dumps)
# or
formats.register_parser('someformat', someformat.loads)
formats.register_composer('someformat', someformat.dumps)Creating your own formats
You could of course use the register method to register your own
parser, but decorators are much more fun!
import formats
@formats.parser('text')
def text_parser(text):
return text
@formats.composer('text')
def text_composer(text):
return text
