pyaxon is an MIT Licensed python library
for AXON.
AXON is eXtended Object Notation. It's a simple text based format for interchanging
objects, documents and data.
It tries to combine the best of JSON,
XML and YAML.
pyaxon runs under Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5
It can be installed via pip:
pip install pyaxon
It can be installed from sources:
python setup.py install
First import axon module:
>>> import axon
Load and dump lists, dicts, tuples:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> from datetime import datetime, time, date
>>> text = axon.dumps([['abc абв', 1, 3.14, True],
[datetime.now(), Decimal('3.14')]])
>>> print(text)
["abc абв" 1 3.14 true]
[^2015-05-12T13:08:37.078189 3.14D]
>>> vals = [{'id':1, 'nickname':'nick', 'time':time(12, 31, 34), 'text':'hello!'},
{'id':2, 'nickname':'mark', 'time':time(12, 32, 3), 'text':'hi!'}]
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals)
>>> print(text)
{id:1 nickname:"nick" text:"hello!" time:^12:31:34}
{id:2 nickname:"mark" text:"hi!" time:^12:32:03}
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals, pretty=1)
>>> print(text)
{ id: 1
nickname: "nick"
text: "hello!"
time: ^12:31:34}
{ id: 2
nickname: "mark"
text: "hi!"
time: ^12:32:03}
>>> vals == axon.loads(text)
True
>>> vals = [[{'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}, {'a':[1,2,3], 'b':(1,2,3), 'c':{1,2,3}}]]
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals)
>>> print(text)
[{a:1 b:2 c:3} {a:[1 2 3] b:(1 2 3) c:{1 2 3}}]
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals, pretty=1)
>>> print(text)
[ { a: 1
b: 2
c: 3}
{ a: [1 2 3]
b: (1 2 3)
c: {1 2 3}}]
>>> vals == axon.loads(text)
True
Dump, load objects in "safe" mode:
>>> vals = axon.loads('person{name:"nick" age:32 email:"[email protected]"}')
>>> print(type(vals[0]))
<class 'axon._objects.Node'>
>>> print(vals[0])
node('person', {'email': '[email protected]', 'age': 32, 'name': 'nick'})
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals)
>>> print(text)
person{age:32 email:"[email protected]" name:"nick"}
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals, pretty=1)
>>> print(text)
person
age: 32
email: "[email protected]"
name: "nick"
>>> text = axon.dumps(vals, pretty=1, braces=1)
>>> print(text)
person {
age: 32
email: "[email protected]"
name: "nick"}
Dump, load objects in unsafe mode:
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age, email):
self.name = name
self.age = age
self.email = email
def __str__(self):
return "Person(name=%r, age=%r, email=%r)" % (self.name, self.age, self.email)
@axon.reduce(Person)
def reduce_Person(p):
return axon.node('person', {'name':p.name, 'age':p.age, 'email': p.email})
@axon.factory('person')
def factory_Person(attrs, vals):
return Person(name=attrs['name'], age=attrs['age'], email=attrs['email'])
>>> p = Person('nick', 32, '[email protected]')
>>> text = axon.dumps([p])
>>> print(text)
person{age:32 email:"[email protected]" name:"nick"}
>>> val = axon.loads(text, mode='strict')[0]
>>> print(val)
Person(name='nick', age=32, email='[email protected]')
- Provide simple API for loading and dumping of objects in textual AXON format.
- Provide safe loading and dumping by default.
- Provide unsafe loading and dumping of objects on the base of registration of factory/reduce callables.
- Provide a way for fully controlled by application/framework/library unsafe loading and dumping.
- It's sufficiently fast so as to be useful.
