CartoCSS documentation parser for Python.

Install

pip install cartocss_doc_parser

Quickstart

The main function cartocss_doc returns a dictionary with almost every section of the documentation. All the properties are wrapped in generators.

> from pprint import pprint
> from cartocss_doc_parser import cartocss_doc
>
> doc = cartocss_doc()
> pprint(doc)
{'building': <generator object ...>,
 'common_elements': <generator object ...>,
 'line': <generator object ...>,
 'line_pattern': <generator object ...>,
 'map_background_and_string_elements': <generator object ...>,
 'markers': <generator object ...>,
 'other_parameters': <generator object ...>,
 'point': <generator object ...>,
 'polygon': <generator object ...>,
 'polygon_pattern': <generator object ...>,
 'raster': <generator object ...>,
 'shield': <generator object ...>,
 'symbolizers': <generator object ...>,
 'text': <generator object ...>,
 'torque_properties': <generator object ...>,
 'values': <generator object ...>}

All properties contains the attributes

• default Default value.
• description Description.
• id Identificator.
• link Link to the property on documentation.
• name Name of the property.
• sample Example of use.
• type Value data type. For a complete list see cartocss_data_types.

and if the data type is keyword contains an additional attribute

• variants Possible values for the property.
