crispum
Cross-language declarative parsing pipeline.
Installation
Node: npm i crispum --save
Python: pip install crispum
, or if you're clever pipenv install crispum
Usage
Crispum is designed to take in static JSON schema objects and return back a parser function which will apply all of the transformations listed in the schema object.
Here is an example of a simple obstruction example.
{
"type": "simple",
"keys": {
"indeed": "awesome"
}
}
This schema would transform the following object...
{
"awesome": "it works!"
}
into
{
"indeed": "it works!"
}
The schema may also be an array of instructions, and can apply instructions to to the whole object or to each element of an array.
[{
"type": "pluck",
"key": "indeed"
}, {
"type": "array"
}, {
"type": "conditional",
"key": "foo",
"default": {
"type": "filter"
},
"options": {
"bar": {
"type": "pluck",
"key": "nested"
},
"baz": {
"type": "pluck",
"key": "special"
}
}
}, {
"type": "dearray"
}, {
"type": "simple",
"keys": {
"result": "0",
"extra": "1"
}
}]
This results in a complex multistep schema, which when appled to data like this...
{
"extra": "oh hey",
"indeed": [{
"foo": "bar",
"nested": "value"
}, {
"foo": "boozle",
"nested": "lost in space"
}, {
"foo": "baz",
"nested": "value",
"special": "so bazzy"
}]
}
results in...
{
"result": "value",
"extra": "so bazzy"
}
API
crispum(schema)
-> function (data)
Create a new crispum parser with the options passed. The returned parse method takes one parameter, which is input data, and returns the transformed data.
schema
Required
Type: object
or array
The schema may either be a single instruction or an array of them. Each instruction must have a type
, and may optionally contain an array
field.
When array
is true, the current data will be reinterpreted as an array and each instruction will execute on the entries instead of the list itself.
Available types are...
array
The array instruction tells the crispum pipeline to run all subsequent instructions as if they had array: true
set. It also can take in an optional parameters, keys
keys
is a list of keys to copy from the data into each element of the array before continuing on the pipeline
conditional
The conditional instruction looks at the value of a specified key and then executes a different instruction based on the value found.
key
: They keyname to check the conditional againstdefault
: The default instruction if the value found is not in the options listoptions
: An associative array of instruction options
dearray
Stops an array pipeline and goes back to interpreting the data as a whole instead of each element.
filter
This instruction deletes the current data and does ont take any parameters. This is useful in combination with array
and conditional
simple
Simple onyl takes 1 other parameter, which is keys
. Keys should be a valid obstruction schema.
The result is the same as the output obstruction would generate, except extra keys not mentioned in the schema are not removed.
pluck
The pluck instruction takes a given key and rebases the dataset onto it. It takes in two parameters
key
: The keyname to grab and rebase the current dataset ontokeys
: An array of extra keys to copy from the parent object into the plucked value
