Access dict values as attributes (works recursively).
Project description
EasyDict allows to access dict values as attributes (works recursively). A Javascript-like properties dot notation for python dicts.
USAGE
>>> from easydict import EasyDict as edict >>> d = edict({'foo':3, 'bar':{'x':1, 'y':2}}) >>> d.foo 3 >>> d.bar.x 1 >>> d = edict(foo=3) >>> d.foo 3
Very useful when exploiting parsed JSON content !
>>> from easydict import EasyDict as edict >>> from simplejson import loads >>> j = """{ "Buffer": 12, "List1": [ {"type" : "point", "coordinates" : [100.1,54.9] }, {"type" : "point", "coordinates" : [109.4,65.1] }, {"type" : "point", "coordinates" : [115.2,80.2] }, {"type" : "point", "coordinates" : [150.9,97.8] } ] }""" >>> d = edict(loads(j)) >>> d.Buffer 12 >>> d.List1[0].coordinates[1] 54.9
Can set attributes as easily as getting them :
>>> d = EasyDict() >>> d.foo = 3 >>> d.foo 3
It is still a dict !
>>> d = EasyDict(log=False) >>> d.debug = True >>> d.items() [('debug', True), ('log', False)]
Instance and class attributes are accessed like usual objects…
>>> class Flower(EasyDict): ... power = 1 ... >>> f = Flower({'height': 12}) >>> f.power 1 >>> f['power'] 1
