Input Output Kit

I/O Kit Python Library

IOKit is a Python library that offers a suite of utilities for managing a wide range of input/output operations. Central to its design is the concept of a State, where each state signifies a unit of data that can be loaded, saved, or transformed. Each state corresponds to a valid file state, represented as a bytes-like object.

IOKit abstracts and unifies serialization and deserialization operations from various libraries into a single, cohesive interface. This allows for direct manipulation of the file's state in memory, eliminating the need for disk interaction. Consequently, it facilitates the (de)serialization of data in multiple formats, such as json, yaml, txt, tar, gzip, among others. This abstraction not only simplifies data handling but also enhances efficiency by reducing disk I/O operations.

Installation

You can install the IOkit library using pip:

pip install iokit

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use the I/O Kit library:

Text File Handling

from iokit import Txt

text = "Hello, World!"
state = Txt(text, name="text")
print(state)
print(state.load())

text.txt (13B)
Hello, World!

JSON

from iokit import Json

data = {"key": "value"}
state = Json(data, name="single")
print(state)
print(state.load())

single.json (16B)
{'key': 'value'}

YAML

from iokit import Yaml

data = {"key": "value"}
state = Yaml(data, name="single")
print(state)
print(state.load())

single.yaml (11B)
{'key': 'value'}

GZip Compression

from iokit import Txt, Gzip

data = "Hello, World! "* 1000
state = Gzip(Txt(data, name="data"))
print(state)
print(len(state.load().load()))

data.txt.gz (133B)
14000

Tar Archive

from iokit import Tar, Txt

state1 = Txt("First file", name="text1")
state2 = Txt("Second file", name="text2")
archive = Tar([state1, state2], name="archive")
states = archive.load()
print(states)
print(states[0].load())
print(states[1].load())

[text1.txt (10B), text2.txt (11B)]
First file
Second file

Find State

from iokit import Tar, find_state

state1 = Txt("First file", name="text1")
state2 = Txt("Second file", name="text2")
archive = Tar([state1, state2], name="archive")

state = find_state(archive.load(), "?e*2.txt")
print(state.load())

Second file

Byte input handling

from iokit import State

state = State(b"{\"first\": 1, \"second\": 2}", name="data.json")
print(state.load())

{'first': 1, 'second': 2}
