Convert a string representation of an int, float, None, True, False, or JSON to its native type. For None, True, and False, case is irrelevant.
Project description
[](https://travis-ci.org/geowurster/str2type)
Convert a string representation of an int, float, None, True, False, or JSON to its native type. For None, True, and False, case is irrelevant.
>>> from str2type import str2type
>>> print(str2type("1.23"))
1.23
The user can also specify which JSON library to use for decoding should they know they will be encountering a lot of JSON, in which case a different library is probably more appropriate than this function.
>>> from str2type import str2type
>>> import ujson
>>> print(str2type('[0,1,2,3,4]', json_lib=ujson))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Alternatively:
>>> import str2type
>>> import ujson
>>> str2type.JSON = ujson
>>> print(str2type('FaLsE'))
False
The brunt of the decoding is handled by json, which can decode all supported types except for strings and None. If the user specifies a different JSON library it is still expected to be able to handle these types.
