surfing-python

A Python binding for the surfing Rust crate - extract JSON from text streams.

Description

surfing-python provides Python bindings for the Rust surfing library, allowing you to easily extract JSON objects from unstructured text. It's perfect for scenarios where you need to extract structured data from logs, text files, or other sources that may contain JSON mixed with other content.

Installation

pip install surfing-python

Usage

Basic Example

import surfing_python

# Extract JSON from a text string
text = 'some random text {"key": "value"} more random text'
json_str = surfing_python.extract_json_to_string(text)
print(json_str)  # Output: {"key": "value"}

Error Handling

import surfing_python

try:
    # No JSON in this string
    json_str = surfing_python.extract_json_to_string("no json here")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")  # Will print an error message

Features
