Getting Started

• Prerequisites

  • Python >= 3.6.x
  • pip

• Installation

  $ pip install wpt-parser
  

• Examples

  • Using the JSON Parser

  # import the class
  from WPTParser.Fetch import Fetch
  from WPTParser.JSONParser import JSONParser
  
  test_json = Fetch().json()
  keys = ['data.median.firstView.loadTime',]
  # returns a new dict with specified keys
  JSONParser(test_json).pick(keys=keys).exec()
  
  

• Key Types:

  • key_name

    • Works like simple JSON extraction. Provide the name of the key and boom!.
    • For extraction from beyond first level, append keys with a separator and provide key_delimiter for the program to recognize the start of next level.
    • Example:

    """
    {
        keylevel11: {
            keylevel21: value,
            keylevel22: {
                keylevel31: value
            }
        }
    }
    """
    # key to extract first level
    # keylevel11
    # returns {keylevel21: ...}
    
    # key to extract second level, first key
    # keylevel11.keylevel21
    # returns value
    

  • [list_index]

    • When you have a list as value and you want to extract a specific index value/object.
    • For extraction from beyond first level, append keys with a separator and provide key_delimiter for the program to recognize the start of next level.
    • Example:

    """
    {
        keylevel11: {
            keylevel21: [
                1, 2, 3
            ],
            keylevel22: {
                keylevel31: value
            }
        }
    }
    """
    # key to extract second level, third index
    # keylevel11.keylevel21.[2]
    # returns 3
    

  • [{key=value}]

    • When you have a unordered list of object and you want extract a specific object from the list based on the key and value inside the object
    • For extraction from beyond first level, append keys with a separator and provide key_delimiter for the program to recognize the start of next level.
    • Example:

    """
    {
        keylevel11: {
            keylevel21: [
                1, 2, 3
            ],
            keylevel22: {
                keylevel31: value
            },
            keylevel23: [
                {
                    name: Awesome,
                },
                {
                    name: Package
                }
            ]
        }
    }
    """
    # key to extract second level, and from that extarct the object with name = Awesome
    # keylevel11.keylevel23.[{name=Awesome}]
    # return {name: Awesome}
    

  • [{key~regex}]

    • When you have a unordered list of object and you want extract a specific object from the list based on the key and a regex of value inside the object
    • For extraction from beyond first level, append keys with a separator and provide key_delimiter for the program to recognize the start of next level.
    • The regex search is case sensitive. You do not need to add // or r'' to write your regex.
    • Example:

    """
    {
        keylevel11: {
            keylevel21: [
                1, 2, 3
            ],
            keylevel22: {
                keylevel31: value
            },
            keylevel23: [
                {
                    name: Awesome123,
                },
                {
                    name: Package
                }
            ]
        }
    }
    """
    # key to extract second level, and from that extarct the object with name matching Awesome
    # keylevel11.keylevel23.[{name~Awesome}]
    # return {name: Awesome}
