pip install literalizerUsage
Pass your data, its format, and a target language:
"""Minimal example of using literalizer."""
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
released: 2026-06-02
"""
result = literalize(
source=yaml_config,
input_format=InputFormat.YAML,
language=Go(date_format=Go.date_formats.ISO),
)
# result.code:
# map[string]any{
# // Server configuration
# "host": "localhost", // default host
