Flexibly Represented Interactive Data

FRID: Flexibly Represented Interactive Data

This Python package is a tool for data manipulation.

Supported data types include:

• All JSON types: string, integer, floating point, boolean, null, array (as Python lists), and object (as Python dictionaries).
• Additional data types: binary types (bytes/bytearray/memoryview) and date types (date/time/datetime).
• Base classes are provided for user-extensible data structures, allowing users to convert between any customized data structures and string representations.

Current key features include:

• Data can be dumped into and loaded from a string representation that is more concise than the JSON format.
• The library is capable of encoding data in fully JSON- or JSON5-compatible formats, including escape sequences in strings to support additional data types.
• Comparison of two data trees using a highly flexible comparator.
• Web application support tools, such as:
  • Converting data from HTTP request bodies based on content type.
  • Converting data types to HTTP requests and setting the correct headers.
  • Sending streaming responses if the data of the body comes from an asynchronous iterator.
