FilerX 1.0.0

Universal config loader with auto-detect, nested keys, merge, and file watcher (JSON/YAML/TOML)

FilerX

Universal Config Loader for Python (JSON/YAML/TOML) with Nested Keys, Merge, and File Watcher)

---

Overview

FilerX is a professional Python library designed for developers and DevOps engineers who need a robust, flexible, and easy-to-use configuration management tool. It supports multiple config formats (JSON, YAML, TOML), automatic format detection, nested key access, file merging, and real-time file watching.

Key Features

• Universal Config Loader: Load JSON, YAML, or TOML files without worrying about file extensions.
• Nested Keys & Dot Notation: Access or modify deeply nested keys easily (database.connections.0.host).
• Merge Multiple Files: Combine multiple config files while preserving structure.
• Auto-Detect & Auto-Fix: Automatically detect file formats and fix minor syntax issues.
• File Watcher: Monitor files for changes and reload automatically.
• Extensible: Add support for custom config formats.
• Python 3.8+ compatible.

Usage

Basic Usage

from filerx import FilerX

# Load a config file (any extension)
config = FilerX("settings.data")

# Access nested key
host = config.get("database.connections.0.host", default="localhost")
print(host)

# Set nested key
config.set("api.tokens.google", "ABC123")

# Merge another config
config.merge("extra_settings.yml")

# Save the updated config
config.save("settings_fixed.data")

Watcher Example

config = FilerX("settings.data", watch=True)
# The config will auto-reload when the file changes

Accessing Nested Arrays

servers = config.get("servers")
first_ip = config.get("servers.0.ip")
config.set("servers.1.ip", "192.168.1.2")

Dynamic Format Extension

from filerx.parser import register_format

# Example: Custom parser for a new config format
register_format("custom", lambda content: my_custom_parser(content))
