scrape-schema 0.1.3

A library for converting any text (xml, html, plain text, stdout, etc) to python datatypes

Scrape-schema

This library is designed to write structured, readable, reusable parsers for unstructured text data (like html, stdout or any text) and is inspired by dataclasses

Motivation

Simplifying parsers support, where it is difficult to use or the complete absence of the API interfaces and decrease lines of code

Also structuring, data serialization and use as an intermediate layer for third-party serialization libraries: json, dataclasses, pydantic, etc

---

Features

• python 3.8+ support
• decrease lines of code for your parsers
• partial support type-casting from annotations (str, int, float, bool, list, dict, Optional)
• interacting with values with callbacks, filters, factories
• logging to quickly find problems in extracted values
• optional success-attempts parse values checker from fields objects
• standardization, modularity* of structures-parsers *If you usage schema-structures and they are separated from the logic of getting the text (stdout output, HTTP requests, etc)

---

Build-in libraries parsers support:

• re
• bs4
• selectolax(Modest)
• parsel
• lxml
• selenium
• playwright

---

Install

zero dependencies: regex, nested fields (and typing_extension if python < 3.11)

pip install scrape-schema

add bs4 fields

pip install scrape-schema[bs4]

add selectolax fields

pip install scrape-schema[selectolax]

add parsel fields

pip install scrape-schema[parsel]

add all fields

pip install scrape-schema[all]

Code comparison

Before scrape_schema: harder to maintain, change logic

import re
import pprint

TEXT = """
banana potato BANANA POTATO
-foo:10
-bar:20
lorem upsum dolor
192.168.0.1
"""


def parse_text(text: str) -> dict:
    if match := re.search(r"(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})", text):
        ipv4 = match[1]
    else:
        ipv4 = None

    if matches := re.findall(r"(\d+)", text):
        max_digit = max(int(i) for i in matches)
    else:
        max_digit = None

    failed_value = bool(re.search(r"(ora)", text))

    if matches := re.findall(r"(\d+)", text):
        digits = [int(i) for i in matches]
        digits_float = [float(f'{i}.5') for i in matches]
    else:
        digits = None
        digits_float = None
    words_lower = matches if (matches := re.findall(r"([a-z]+)", text)) else None
    words_upper = matches if (matches := re.findall(r"([A-Z]+)", text)) else None

    return dict(ipv4=ipv4, max_digit=max_digit, failed_value=failed_value,
                digits=digits, digits_float=digits_float, 
                words_lower=words_lower, words_upper=words_upper)
    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pprint.pprint(parse_text(TEXT), width=48, compact=True)
    # {'digits': [10, 20, 192, 168, 0, 1],
    #  'digits_float': [10.5, 20.5, 192.5, 168.5, 0.5,
    #                   1.5],
    #  'failed_value': False,
    #  'ip_v4': '192.168.0.1',
    #  'max_digit': 192,
    #  'words_lower': ['banana', 'potato', 'foo',
    #                  'bar', 'lorem', 'upsum',
    #                  'dolor'],
    #  'words_upper': ['BANANA', 'POTATO']}

After scrape_schema: easy change of logic, support, portability

from typing import List  # if you usage python3.8 - usage GenericAliases
import pprint

from scrape_schema import BaseSchema, ScField
from scrape_schema.fields.regex import ReMatch, ReMatchList

TEXT = """
banana potato BANANA POTATO
-foo:10
-bar:20
lorem upsum dolor
192.168.0.1
"""


class Schema(BaseSchema):
    ipv4: ScField[str, ReMatch(r"(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})")]
    max_digit: ScField[int, ReMatchList(r"(\d+)",
                                          callback=int,                                      
                                          factory=max)]
    failed_value: ScField[bool, ReMatchList(r"(ora)", default=False)]
    digits: ScField[List[int], ReMatchList(r"(\d+)")]
    digits_float: ScField[List[float], ReMatchList(r"(\d+)", 
                                                     callback=lambda s: f"{s}.5")]
    words_lower: ScField[List[str], ReMatchList(r"([a-z]+)")]
    words_upper: ScField[List[str], ReMatchList(r"([A-Z]+)")]
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    schema = Schema(TEXT)
    pprint.pprint(schema.dict(), width=48, compact=True)
    # {'digits': [10, 20, 192, 168, 0, 1],
    #  'digits_float': [10.5, 20.5, 192.5, 168.5, 0.5,
    #                   1.5],
