anymarkup 0.1.0

Parse/serialize any markup format

Parse or serialize any markup. Currently supports ini, json, xml and yaml. Report bugs and new functionality requests at https://github.com/bkabrda/anymarkup/issues.

Parsing (see below for more examples):

import anymarkup
anymarkup.parse('foo: bar')
anymarkup.parse_file('foo/bar.ini')

Serializing: coming in next version

Examples

Parsing examples:

import anymarkup

ini = """
[a]
foo = bar"""

json = """
{"a": {
    "foo": "bar"
}}"""

xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
    <foo>bar</foo>
</a>"""

yaml = """
a:
  foo: bar
"""

# these will all yield the same value (except that xml parsing will yield OrderedDict)
anymarkup.parse(ini)
anymarkup.parse(json)
anymarkup.parse(xml)
anymarkup.parse(yaml)

# explicitly specify a type of format to expect and/or encoding (utf-8 is default)
anymarkup.parse('foo: bar', format='yaml', encoding='ascii')

# or parse a file
anymarkup.parse_file('foo.ini')

# if a file doesn't have a format extension, pass it explicitly
anymarkup.parse_file('foo', format='json')

# you can also pass encoding explicitly (utf-8 is default)
anymarkup.parse_file('bar', format='xml', encoding='ascii')
