from literalizer import InputFormat, literalize
from literalizer.languages import Python
result = literalize(
source='{"x": 1}',
input_format=InputFormat.JSON,
language=Python(),
)
# result.code:
# {
# "x": 1,
# }Configure the language to control how individual data types are rendered. Comments in the source are preserved using the target language’s comment syntax:
"""Layering format options on top of the minimal call."""
from literalizer import InputFormat, literalize
from literalizer.languages import Go
yaml_config = """\
# Server configuration
host: localhost # default host
port: 8080

"""
result = literalize(
source=yaml_config,
input_format=InputFormat.YAML,
