Agnostic Raw Data for Python
Project description
Agnostic Raw Data for Python
See the description of Agnostic Raw Data (ARD) in the Go ARD library.
The latest stable release of this library is available on PyPi:
python -m pip install ard
This library has three main features:
- Allows you to easily transmit ARD in several formats: YAML, JSON, XML, and
CBOR. Supports both encoding and decoding. Included is an
ardconv
CLI tool that can convert between all formats. - Enable support for decoding YAML with complex keys. As it stands, the otherwise excellent ruamel.yaml library will choke on complex keys.
- Support for ARD-compatible extensions to JSON (CJSON). This allows for round-tripping ARD through JSON without losing type information, including support for integers, byte arrays, and maps with non-string keys.
Python's dict
does not support un-hashable keys, making it difficult to work
with complex keys. For this reason we provide the ard.Map
class, which does
support un-hashable keys and is otherwise a drop-in replacement for dict
. It
will be used automatically when decoding, if necessary.
Documentation is a work in progress! For now check out test.py
for example use.
