jobject

jobject: A dictionary replacement that gives additional access to data using C struct notation, just like JavaScript Objects.

Please see LICENSE for further information.

See Releases for changes from release to release.

Installation

pip install jobject

Import

import jobject

my_dict = jobject({'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3})

print(my_dict.three) # prints '3'

Inheritance

Because jobject extends dict it can be dropped into any code that requires dict notation or iteration. Because of this, jobject makes sure any dictionary instances that are passed to it are also converted into jobjects

import jobject

my_dict = jobject({
	'one': {
		'two': {
			'three': 123
		}
	}
})

print(my_dict.one.two.three) # prints '123'

It will even follow lists to make sure everything under it is converted to a jobject

import jobject

my_dict = jobject({
	'array': [
		{'one': 1},
		{'two': 2},
		{'three': 3}
	]
})

print(my_dict[2].three) # prints '3'

This even includes data set after the fact

import jobject

my_dict = jobject()

my_dict.test = {
	'one': [
		{'two': 2}
	]
}

print(my_dict.test.one[0].two) # prints '2'
print(my_dict['test']['one'][0]['two']) # prints '2'
