Access nested dicts and lists using JSON-like path notation.
Project description
Access nested dicts and lists using JSON-like path notation.
Note that this code is written for python 3.
The notation is as follows:
You can just write the names of components in your path like you would in javascript:
foo.bar.baz
To access arrays or names with spaces in them, use the ‘[]’ notation. You can use negative indices with arrays to count from the end.
[“foo”][“bar”][“baz”] array[-1].attr [3]
You can use the wildcard character ‘*’ to iterate over all elements:
foo.*.baz [“foo”][*][“baz”]
This may return more or less than a single element. Use get to get the first one, and get_all to get a list of all possibilities. If you want to skip any number of elements in path, use two dots ‘..’:
foo..baz
You can slice the arrays just like in python:
array[1:-1:2]
Finally, you can filter the elements:
foo(bar.baz=true) foo.bar(baz>0).baz foo(bar=”yawn”).bar
At the moment only =, >, <, >=, <= and != operators are available, and you can only use them with strings, integers and boolean values.
This code was written in STX Next.
