Parse or serialize any markup. Currently supports ini, json, xml and yaml. Report bugs and new functionality requests at https://github.com/bkabrda/anymarkup/issues.
Parsing (see below for more examples):
import anymarkup
anymarkup.parse('foo: bar')
anymarkup.parse_file('foo/bar.ini')
Serializing: coming in next version
Parsing examples:
import anymarkup
ini = """
[a]
foo = bar"""
json = """
{"a": {
"foo": "bar"
}}"""
xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
<foo>bar</foo>
</a>"""
yaml = """
a:
foo: bar
"""
# these will all yield the same value (except that xml parsing will yield OrderedDict)
anymarkup.parse(ini)
anymarkup.parse(json)
anymarkup.parse(xml)
anymarkup.parse(yaml)
# explicitly specify a type of format to expect and/or encoding (utf-8 is default)
anymarkup.parse('foo: bar', format='yaml', encoding='ascii')
# or parse a file
anymarkup.parse_file('foo.ini')
# if a file doesn't have a format extension, pass it explicitly
anymarkup.parse_file('foo', format='json')
# you can also pass encoding explicitly (utf-8 is default)
anymarkup.parse_file('bar', format='xml', encoding='ascii')
