qsck 0.1

The shitty ".qs" file (de-)serializer

qsck

Python library for serializing and deserializing a wonky format referred to as ".qs" files. For full format specification, please read through tests.test_serialize test suite and extrapolate.

Quick Start

Use Python ≥ 3.6 only. Install it: pip3 install qsck

Serializing Data

Via Python:

python3 -c "import qsck; print(qsck.serialize('LOG', '1553302923', [
    ('first_key', 'some value'),
    ('2nd_key', [('attr1', 'foo'), ('attr2', 'bar')]),
    ('3rd_key', {'subKey1': '-3', 'subKey2': None}),
    ('4th_key', None)
]))"

Out comes a ".qs" record, like so:

LOG,1553302923,first_key=some value,2nd_key={attr1=foo, attr2=bar},3rd_key={"subKey1":"-3","subKey2":null},4th_key=(null)

The library also supports serializing data by passing in a JSON file via the command-line tool qs-format, one record per line:

qs-format my-records.json > my-records.qs
