ndjson
Support for ndjson. Plain and simple.
Features
- familiar interface
- very small
- no dependencies
- works as advertised
- has tests
Usage
ndjson exposes the same api as the builtin json and pickle packages.
import ndjson
# load from file-like objects
with open('data.ndjson') as f:
data = ndjson.load(f)
# convert to and from objects
text = ndjson.dumps(data)
data = ndjson.loads(text)
# dump to file-like objects
with open('backup.ndjson', 'w') as f:
ndjson.dump(items, f)It contains JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder classes for easy
use with other libraries, such as requests:
import ndjson
import requests
response = requests.get('https://example.com/api/data')
items = response.json(cls=ndjson.Decoder)The library also packs reader and writer classes very similar to standard csv ones:
import ndjson
# Streaming lines from ndjson file:
with open('./posts.ndjson') as f:
reader = ndjson.reader(f)
for post in reader:
print(post)
# Writing items to a ndjson file
with open('./posts.ndjson', 'w') as f:
writer = ndjson.writer(f, ensure_ascii=False)
for post in posts:
writer.writerow(post)Credits
