Project description
[](https://travis-ci.org/geowurster/str2type) [](https://coveralls.io/r/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. The primary use-case of this function is automatically parsing user-input from the commandline into Python types. Argument parsers usually handle this no problem but if a flag can take multiple types then str2type() can serve as the decoder.
>>> from str2type import str2type
>>> print(str2type("1.23"))
1.23
>>> print(str2type("1.")
1.0
>>> print(str2type(".2"))
0.2
>>> print(str2type("NonE"))
None
>>> print(str2type("String"))
"String"
