Simple library to make your dictionary flatten

MakeFlatt

Simple library to make your dictionary flatten in Python

Installation

pip install makeflatt

Usage

Quick start:

>>> from makeflatt import FlattMaker
>>> mf = FlattMaker()
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": {"c": "test"}}})
{'a.b.c': 'test'}

Make nested structured flatten without expanding lists:

>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a.b': ['b1', 'b2', 'b3']}

Or use deep_apply to also expand lists:

>>> mf.deep_apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a.b.0': 'b1', 'a.b.1': 'b2', 'a.b.2': 'b3'}

You can also change the separator and define your own:

>>> mf = FlattMaker(sep=":")
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a:b': ['b1', 'b2', 'b3']}
