lupaxa-data-converter

Python library that loads JSON, JSON5, XML, YAML, or TOML into a dictionary, then writes any of those formats.

Built for scripts and tools used by The Lupaxa Project.

The PyPI name is lupaxa-data-converter. The import path is lupaxa.data_converter. This is a library only — there is no console script and no python -m entry point.

Features

• Load JSON, JSON5, XML, YAML, TOML, or a dictionary into one DataConverter
• Dump the loaded mapping to any of those formats
• Two passes through a standard dict — no pairwise converters
• Fully typed, linted, formatted, and tested

Installation

From PyPI

pip install lupaxa-data-converter

From source (development mode)

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Requires Python 3.10+. Runtime dependencies: PyYAML, defusedxml, json5, and tomli-w (tomli on Python 3.10). lupaxa is a namespace package — there is no lupaxa/__init__.py.

Usage

from lupaxa.data_converter import DataConverter

payload = {"name": "Lupaxa", "formats": ["json", "json5", "xml", "yaml", "toml"]}
converter = DataConverter(payload, data_type="dict")

print(converter.to_json())
print(converter.to_json5())
print(converter.to_xml())
print(converter.to_yaml())
print(converter.to_toml())
