HOTMARKUP

Synchronize data structure with markup file

Currently supported formats: YAML, JSON, Pickle

Main features:

• Work with Connection object as usual data structure. You can use features like array slices or methods of dict and list
• JS-like accessing (foo.bar.buzz instead of foo['bar']['buzz'])
• Mutations logging via logging module. Example below
• Reload on file change (pass reload=False to connection constructor to disable)
• Update file on every change (pass save=False to connection constructor to disable)
• Immutable connections (pass mutable=False to connection constructor to enable)

Installation

pip install hotmarkup

Examples

Reload

from hotmarkup import JsonConnection

connection = JsonConnection('example.json', default={'changed': False})
print(connection.changed)  # Out: False
with open('example.json', 'w') as f:
    f.write('{"changed": true}')
print(connection.changed)  # Out: True

Dump

from hotmarkup import JsonConnection

connection = JsonConnection('example.json', default={'changed': False})
print(open('example.json').read())  # Out: {"changed": false}
connection.changed = True
print(open('example.json').read())  # Out: {"changed": true}

Logging

import logging
from hotmarkup import YamlConnection

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
connection = YamlConnection('example.yaml', default={'something_important': 'old_value'})
connection.something_important = 'new_value'

Output:

INFO:example.yaml:Mutation UPDATE example.yaml.something_important=new_value

Counter

from hotmarkup import YamlConnection

connection = YamlConnection('counter.yaml', default={'counter': 0})
connection.counter += 1
print(f'You run this program {connection.counter} times')
