lxdx
====
``lxdx`` is an "extended" Python ``dict`` with attribute-like accessibility.
Other than the usual ``dict`` operations, functions and methods,
some useful functions are incorporated as well.
Only supports Python 3.9+, due to the usage of the `union operator`_ for ``dict``.
Why this project?
-----------------
* Hobbies and curiosities. Just for the fun of programming.
* ``dataclass`` is not cut for modelling hierarchical data.
* Brackets when accessing multi-layer data is too many. `Dot notation`_ may be a cleaner way.
* Introduce utility functions like ``get_from(path)``, inspired from `JsonPath`_, for programmability.
* Ability to add metadata to the items.
Installation
------------
``lxdx`` is available in `PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/lxdx>`_, and installable via ``pip``:
.. code-block::
pip install lxdx
Examples
--------
.. code-block:: python
from lxdx import Dixt
assert Dixt() == {}
assert Dixt({1: 1, 'alpha': 'α'}) == {1: 1, 'alpha': 'α'}
assert Dixt(alpha='α', beta='β') == {'alpha': 'α', 'beta': 'β'}
assert Dixt(alpha='α', beta='β').is_supermap_of({'beta': 'β'})
# data can be deeply nested
data = {'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip', 'metadata': {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}}
dx = Dixt(**data)
# update dx using the union operator
dx |= {'other': 'dict or Dixt obj'}
# 'Normalise' the keys to use it as attributes additionally.
assert dx['Accept-Encoding'] == dx.accept_encoding
del dx.accept_encoding
print(dx.metadata.CONTENT_TYPE)
# Instead of
dx['a-list'][1]['obj-attr'] = 'value'
# Is way cleaner
dx.a_list[1].obj_attr = 'value'
# Programmatically get values
assert dx.a_list[1].obj_attr == dx.get_from('$.a_list[1].obj_attr')
json_str = '{"a": "JSON string"}'
assert Dixt.from_json(json_str).json() == json_str
Documentation
-------------
Full documentation is at https://hardistones.github.io/lxdx.
Future
------
``lxdx`` is supposed to be a library of "extended" ``list`` and ``dict``. For now there's no use case for the ``list`` extension.
**To be supported**
- User-defined meta specification.
