HardView 3.0.0

A comprehensive Python library for collecting hardware information and performance monitoring with dual JSON/Python object output support.

HardView 3.0.0 - Advanced Hardware Information and Performance Monitoring Library

A comprehensive Python library for querying low-level hardware information and monitoring system performance on Windows and Linux systems with enhanced dual output support.

NEW FEATURES IN 3.0.0:

• Dual Output Support: All functions now support both JSON strings and Python objects
• Enhanced GPU Information: Detailed GPU data including driver version, memory size, video processor
• Advanced Network Information: IP address arrays, DNS hostnames, enhanced adapter details
• Improved Linux Support: Better compatibility with Linux systems
• Memory Management: Enhanced memory safety and cleanup
• Performance Monitoring Objects: Real-time monitoring with Python object output

Hardware Information Functions (JSON and Python Objects):

• get_bios_info() / get_bios_info_objects(): BIOS manufacturer, version, release date
• get_system_info() / get_system_info_objects(): System manufacturer, product name, UUID, serial
• get_baseboard_info() / get_baseboard_info_objects(): Motherboard manufacturer, product, serial, version
• get_chassis_info() / get_chassis_info_objects(): Chassis manufacturer, type, serial, version
• get_cpu_info() / get_cpu_info_objects(): CPU name, cores, threads, speed, processor ID
• get_ram_info() / get_ram_info_objects(): Total memory, individual memory modules
• get_disk_info() / get_disk_info_objects(): Disk drives, models, sizes, interfaces
• get_gpu_info() / get_gpu_info_objects(): GPU details, driver version, memory size, video processor
• get_network_info() / get_network_info_objects(): Network adapters, MAC addresses, IP addresses, DNS
• get_smart_info() / get_smart_info_objects(): Advanced disk information (SMART data)
• get_partitions_info() / get_partitions_info_objects(): Advanced storage and partition information

Performance Monitoring Functions (JSON and Python Objects):

• get_cpu_usage() / get_cpu_usage_objects(): Current CPU usage percentage
• get_ram_usage() / get_ram_usage_objects(): Current RAM usage statistics
• get_system_performance() / get_system_performance_objects(): Combined CPU and RAM usage
• monitor_cpu_usage_duration() / monitor_cpu_usage_duration_objects(): Monitor CPU over time period
• monitor_ram_usage_duration() / monitor_ram_usage_duration_objects(): Monitor RAM over time period
• monitor_system_performance_duration() / monitor_system_performance_duration_objects(): Monitor both over time period

Usage Examples:

import HardView

# JSON output (default)
bios_json = HardView.get_bios_info()
cpu_json = HardView.get_cpu_info()

# Python objects output
bios_objects = HardView.get_bios_info_objects(0)  # 0 for Python objects
cpu_objects = HardView.get_cpu_info_objects(0)

# Performance monitoring with objects
cpu_usage = HardView.get_cpu_usage_objects(0)
ram_usage = HardView.get_ram_usage_objects(0)

# Duration monitoring with objects
cpu_monitoring = HardView.monitor_cpu_usage_duration_objects(10, 500)  # 10 seconds, 500ms intervals

Cross-platform Support:

• Windows: WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) queries
• Linux: /proc, /sys filesystem reading and system calls
• Enhanced error handling and memory management
• Platform-specific optimizations

All functions return structured data in both JSON format and native Python objects for maximum flexibility.
