fuso 0.4.0

Fuso is a tool for merging data structures in Python. It provides a simple and intuitive API for merging dictionaries, lists, and other data structures.

Fuso

fuso comes from the Italian word fusione, which translates to fusion. This is exactly what this library does; it creates a fusion between two dictionaries.

The goal of this library is to offer a customizable way of deeply merging dictionaries. In its simplest form, fuso offers an experience like other well-established dictionary merging libraries such as deepmerge, mergedeep.

However, where this library differs is that it allows the user to specify custom merge_functions for specific keys.

For example, you may want to concatenate lists for one key, but keep overwrite behavior for other keys. With fuso, this is possible.

Installation

You can install fuso via pip:

pip install fuso

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use fuso to merge two dictionaries:

from fuso import merge_dict

dict1 = {
    "settings": {
        "theme": "dark",
        "plugins": ["plugin1", "plugin2"]
    }
}
dict2 = {
    "settings": {
        "plugins": ["plugin3"],
        "language": "en"
    }
}
merged_dict = merge_dict(dict1, dict2)
print(merged_dict)
# {
#    "settings": {
#      "theme": "dark",
#      "plugins": ["plugin1", "plugin2", "plugin3"],
#      "language": "en"
#    }
# }

Merge semantics

• Dicts are merged recursively.
• Lists are concatenated.
• Scalars are overwritten by updates.
• None in updates keeps the original value.
• Merging non-None values of different types raises TypeError.
• Duplicate lookup keys in to_list_of_dicts_by_key raise KeyError.

Ordering

• merge_dict returns keys sorted alphabetically by default.
• You can control key order with key_order (partial orders are supported).
