extended-data-types 6.2.1

Extended functionality for data types

Extended Data Types

Typed utilities for serialization, repository-aware file workflows, YAML and HCL interoperability, and automation-friendly transformation pipelines.

Supported Python Versions

extended-data-types supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14.

Public API Model

• extended_data_types is the backward-compatible root convenience surface.
• extended_data_types.transformations.numbers and extended_data_types.transformations.strings expose the richer namespaced transformation APIs.
• extended_data_types.yaml_utils is the documented advanced surface for tagged YAML values and lower-level YAML helpers.

Key Features

• Serialization helpers for YAML, JSON, TOML, HCL, and Base64.
• Repository-aware file helpers for reading, writing, decoding, and path resolution.
• Map, list, and type utilities for normalization and deep composition.
• String and number transformations for case conversion, words, ordinals, and fractions.
• Predictable read/decode/write boundaries for larger automation and agentic systems.

Quick Start

from extended_data_types import decode_file, encode_hcl2, encode_yaml, read_file, write_file

config = {"service": "api", "enabled": True}
write_file("config.yaml", config, tld=".")

yaml_text = read_file("config.yaml", tld=".")
decoded = decode_file(yaml_text, file_path="config.yaml")

terraform = {"locals": [{"region": "us-east-1"}]}
hcl_text = encode_hcl2(terraform)

print(encode_yaml(decoded))
print(hcl_text)
