cli-dev-toolbox 0.1.2

A Python CLI utility for developers - JSON↔CSV conversion, pretty JSON, and URL fetch timing.

CLI Dev Toolbox

A Python CLI utility for developers to enhance productivity and streamline workflows. This toolbox provides essential tools for data conversion, JSON formatting, and HTTP operations.

🚀 Features

• JSON to CSV Conversion: Convert JSON files to CSV format for data analysis
• Pretty JSON Printing: Format JSON files with proper indentation and readability
• URL Fetching: Fetch URLs and measure response times (coming soon)

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• pip package manager

Install from source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rahulkumar/cli-dev-toolbox.git
cd cli-dev-toolbox

# Create and activate virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install the package in development mode
pip install -e .

# For development (includes testing and linting tools)
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Install from PyPI (when published)

pip install cli-dev-toolbox

🛠️ Usage

The CLI tool provides several commands to help with common development tasks:

JSON to CSV Conversion

Convert JSON files to CSV format for easier data analysis:

cli-dev-toolbox json2csv input.json output.csv

Example:

# Convert a JSON file containing employee data
cli-dev-toolbox json2csv data.json employees.csv

The converter expects JSON files with an array of objects structure, where each object represents a row in the CSV file.

Pretty JSON Printing

Format JSON files with proper indentation for better readability:

cli-dev-toolbox prettyjson input.json

Example:

# Format a JSON file for better readability
cli-dev-toolbox prettyjson config.json

URL Fetching (Coming Soon)

Fetch URLs and measure response times:

cli-dev-toolbox fetch https://example.com
