Activejson

A convenient library to deal with large json data

A convenient library to deal with large json data. The purpose of this package is help to deal with complex json-like data, converting them into a more manageable data structure.

Installation

OS X & Linux:

From PYPI

$ pip3 install activejson

from the source

$ git clone https://github.com/dany2691/activejson.git
$ cd activejson
$ python3 setup.py install

Usage example

You can flat a complex dict the next way:

complex_json = {
    'cat': {'grass': 'feline', 'mud': 'you never know', 'horse': 'my joke'},
    'dolphin': [
        {'tiger': [{'bird': 'blue jay'}, {'fish': 'dolphin'}]},
        {'cat2': 'feline'},
       {'dog2': 'canine'}
  ],
  'dog': 'canine'
}

from activejson import flatten_json

flatten_complex_json = flatten_json(complex_json)

print(flatten_complex_json)

The result could be the next:

{
    'cat_grass': 'feline',
    'cat_horse': 'my joke',
    'cat_mud': 'you never know',
    'dog': 'canine',
    'dolphin_0_tiger_0_bird': 'blue jay',
    'dolphin_0_tiger_1_fish': 'dolphin',
    'dolphin_1_cat2': 'feline',
    'dolphin_2_dog2': 'canine'
}

On the other hand, is possible to convert that dict into an object with dynamic attributes:

from activejson import FrozenJSON

frozen_complex_json = FrozenJSON(complex_json)

print(frozen_complex_json.cat.grass)
print(frozen_complex_json.cat.mud)
print(frozen_b.dolphin[2].dog2)

The result could be the next:

'feline'
'you never know'
'canine'

To retrieve the underlying json, is possible to use the json property:

frozen_complex_json.json

{
    'cat_grass': 'feline',
    'cat_horse': 'my joke',
    'cat_mud': 'you never know',
    'dog': 'canine',
    'dolphin_0_tiger_0_bird': 'blue jay',
    'dolphin_0_tiger_1_fish': 'dolphin',
    'dolphin_1_cat2': 'feline',
    'dolphin_2_dog2': 'canine'
}

Development setup

This project uses Poetry for dependecy resolution. It's a kind of mix between pip and virtualenv. Follow the next instructions to setup the development enviroment.

$ pip install poetry

$ git clone https://github.com/dany2691/activejson.git
$ cd activejson
$ poetry install

To run the test-suite, inside the pybundler directory:

$ poetry run pytest test/ -vv
