MakeFlatt
Simple library to make your dictionary flatten in Python
Installation
pip install makeflatt
Usage
Quick start:
>>> from makeflatt import FlattMaker
>>> mf = FlattMaker()
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": {"c": "test"}}})
{'a.b.c': 'test'}
Make nested structured flatten:
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a.b.0': 'b1', 'a.b.1': 'b2', 'a.b.2': 'b3'}
If you don't wan't to expand nested lists you can set include_lists
to False
:
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}}, include_lists=False)
{'a.b': ['b1', 'b2', 'b3']}
You can also change the separator and define your own:
>>> mf = FlattMaker(sep=":")
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a:b:0': 'b1', 'a:b:1': 'b2', 'a:b:2': 'b3'}
