Convert dictionaries into objects with attribute-style access

📦 Dict2Obj - Dictionary to Object Converter

🚀 Convert Python dictionaries into objects with attribute-style access.
🔄 Supports nested dictionaries.
🔍 Easily flatten dictionaries into dot notation.

---

🐜 Features

✅ Convert dictionary keys to object attributes
✅ Return None for missing attributes instead of raising errors
✅ Convert back to dictionary with to_dict()
✅ Flatten to dot notation with to_dot_dict()
✅ Supports non-string keys like integers and tuples

---

🛠 Installation

pip install dict2objects

---

🚀 Usage

Basic Example

from dict2objects import Dict2Obj

data = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "address": {"city": "New York", "zip": "10001"}}
obj = Dict2Obj(data)

print(obj.name)  # Alice
print(obj.address.city)  # New York
print(obj.to_dict())  
# {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30, 'address': {'city': 'New York', 'zip': '10001'}}

---

Flatten Dictionary

print(obj.to_dot_dict())  
# {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30, 'address.city': 'New York', 'address.zip': '10001'}

---

Handling Missing Keys

print(obj.salary)  # None (key does not exist)
print(obj.address.country)  # None (nested non-existent key)

---

🧠 Access Patterns

Dict2Obj supports access to nested keys using attribute-style access and special handling of non-string keys.

from dict2objects import Dict2Obj

data = {
    "user": {
        "name": "Alice",
        "age": 30,
        (1, 2): "coordinates"
    },
    100: "century",
    "details": {
        "nested": {
            "value": 42
        }
    }
}

obj = Dict2Obj(data)

print(obj.user.name)          # Alice
print(obj.details.nested.value)  # 42
print(obj.to_dict()[(1, 2)])     # coordinates
print(obj.to_dict()[100])        # century

🔍 Access Table

Description	Access Pattern	Output
✅ Top-level key (string)	obj.user.name	"Alice"
❓ Nested key	obj.details.nested.value	42
🧩 Non-string tuple key (original)	obj.to_dict()[(1, 2)]	"coordinates"
📦 Non-string integer key (original)	obj.to_dict()[100]	"century"
📜 Missing key	obj.unknown	None
