About

serialix is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that provides unified API for various human-readable data serialization formats (like json, yaml, etc). Due to the how this tool designed, all the supported formats share the identical base between each other, meaning that switching between them will be almost the same. This tool can also be extended for your purposes or even your own serialization format support.

Usage example

serialix is very easy to use:

>>> from serialix import Serialix, JSON_Format                        # Import `Serialix` main class
>>> default_settings = { 'version': '1.23.2' }                        # Specify the default values for our file
>>> cfg = Serialix(JSON_Format, './settings.json', default_settings)  # Create serialix object for `json` format.
                                                                      # Local file will be automatically created.
>>> cfg['version']                                                    # Read the `version` key
'1.23.2'
>>> cfg['version'] = '2.0.0'                                          # Change the `version` key value
>>> cfg['version']                                                    # Read the values of `version` key again
'2.0.0'
>>> cfg.commit()                                                      # Commit the changes to local `settings.json` file
