PYSON

Maintained by: OmegaGodzilla66, ComputingSquid, and coolSchnoodle

Overview

The purpose of this project is to provide a python-based alternative to JSON. This is a (almost) fully functional JSON-inspired data management system!

Major news!

This project is now on pypi at https://pypi.org/project/pyson-data/ thanks to the hard work of @ComputingSquid

How to Use

THIS PROJECT IS NOT YET FINISHED! Documentation IS ONLY SHOWN FOR COMPLETED FEATURES. SOME FEATURES MAY BREAK DUE TO CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU SEE A PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Belive it or not, this project is surprisingly easy to use. The only thing you have to do is pip install pyson-data! From then, you can just import pyson-data, and use functions as normal! Support for other languages may come soon.
The PYSON format does NOT include a newline at the end of the file, files with a newline at the end will be considered invalid

List of Functions

getData()

Required inputs: filePath, datacall
Output: The item in the stored type at index datacall in file filePath

getWhole()

Required inputs: filePath
Output: A list of all datas in their respective types

updateData()

Required inputs: filePath, name, data
Updates entry name to contain value data
Output: Whether or not function call worked

isCompatible()

Required inputs: filePath
Outputs: Bool
Checks if a file is compatible with .cnf file format. Returns True if so, returns False if not.

Supported Types

There are 4 supported types: int, float, str, and list

An int is a whole number that can be any value
A str is a list of text (quotes not required)
A list is a list of values, which currently have to all be strings. List items are seperated by the (*) seperator. Currently there is no escaping support. I don't really know why you would use that value normally in a list.
A float is a decimal number, that can be any value

More supported types may be added.
