python-jsonlist

This module is used to read and write JSON-List files.

A JSON-List file is a text file that every line is a JSON string.

For example, a JSON-List file named test.jl has the following content:

{"foo": "bar"}
{"a": 123, "b": 456}

So that it can be loaded into python as a list of dicts:

$ python3
>>> import jsonlist
>>> jsonlist.load_file('test.jl')
[{'foo': 'bar'}, {'a': 123, 'b': 456}]

And a list of dicts can be dumped into a JSON-List file.

$ python3
>>> import jsonlist
>>> jlist = [{'foo': 123, 'bar': 456}, {'hello': 'python'}, {}]
>>> jsonlist.dump_file(jlist, 'output.jl')
>>> exit()
$ cat output.jl
{"bar": 456, "foo": 123}
{"hello": "python"}
{}

Requirements
