jsonurl-py 0.2.0

Python implementation of jsonurl, an alternative format for JSON data model

About

This is a python implementation of jsonurl, an alternative text format which encodes the same data model in a way that is more suitable for use in URLs.

See https://jsonurl.org/

This is an incomplete implementation.

Installation

pip install jsonurl-py

The package name is jsonurl_py to avoid confusion with an unrelated jsonurl package on pypi which implements an unrelated syntax. In theory you can install and import both packages without having them interfere with each other.

The project name uses a dash in the name for consistency with the existing jsonurl-js and jsonurl-java implementations.

Usage

import jsonurl_py as jsonurl

assert jsonurl.loads('(a:1,b:c)') == {'a': 1, 'b': 'c'}
assert jsonurl.dumps(dict(a=[1,2])) == '(a:(1,2))'

Command Line Interface

The package includes a command line interface for converting between jsonurl and standard json:

$ echo "(a:b)" | jsonurl-py load
{"a": "b"}
$ echo '{"a":"b"}' | jsonurl-py dump
(a:b)
