#####Installation: https://pypi.org/project/get-nested-value-by-path/

pip install get-nested-value-by-path

#####Usage:

nested_dict = {
  "key": [
    {
      "sub_key": {
        "sub_sub_key_1": "Value_1",
        "sub_sub_key_2": "Value_2"
      }
    }
  ]
}

before:

sub_sub_value_1 = nested_dict['key'][0]['sub_key']['sub_sub_key_1']

after:

from get_nested_value_by_path import get_nested_value_by_path
sub_sub_value_1 = get_nested_value_by_path(nested_dict, "key/0/sub_key/sub_sub_key_1")

#####Example:

nested_dict = {
  "club": [
    {
      "manager": {
        "last_name": "Lionel",
        "first_name": "Messi"
      }
    }
  ]
}

before:

manager_last_name = nested_dict['club'][0]['manager']['last_name']

after:

from get_nested_value_by_path import get_nested_value_by_path
manager_last_name = get_nested_value_by_path(nested_dict, "club/0/manager/last_name")
