datadelve 0.8.2

A library to read and manipulate nested data structures, particularly ones read from JSON files

DataDelve

Working with complex nested data can be tedious. If you have to access any objects that are four layers deep in a JSON response from a web service, you quickly tire of writing square brackets. Much better would be to have a simple way of accessing data through a simple syntax. jsonpointer is a perfect match, it looks just like paths through a filesystem. Applying this information to the data structures makes it easy and convenient.

Usage

from datadelve import DataDelver

data = ["your annoying data here"]
delver = DataDelver(data)
element = delver.get("/dict/keys/and/1/list/index")
subset = delver.cd("/particular/key/to/focus/on")
delver.set("/path/to/change", "new")
delver.delete("/bad")
