Slash-Hash Packed Data Format (SHPDF) is a legacy data format. The original data and specification is missing. This project aims to provide tools to process SHPDF data. Please note that our implementation is based on personal conjuncture and may not be accurate.

• The packed data contains some unreadable characters
• The packed data should be encoded in big5 or cp950
• The packed data extension does not matter
• The packed data should look like this (in cp950 encoding)

• Using pip

  pip install shpdf-tools

• Using poetry

  poetry add shpdf-tools

• Decode and encode the packed data

  from shpdf_tools.decode import decode_dict
  from shpdf_tools.encode import encode_json
  from io import BytesIO
