Package: dictquery
DictQueryLibrary to query python dictsSeveral syntax examples:"age >= 12"
"`user.name` == 'cyberlis'"
"`user.email` MATCH /\w+@\w+\.com/ AND age != 11"
"`user.friends.age` > 12 AND `user.friends.name` LIKE 'Ra*ond'"
"email LIKE 'mariondelgado?bleendot?com'"
"eyeColor IN ['blue', 'green', 'black']"
"isActive AND (gender == 'female' OR age == 27)"
"latitude != longitude"Supported data typestypeexampleKEYname, age, `friends.name.firstname`, `friends.age`NUMBER42, -12, 34.7STRING'hello', "hellow"BOOLEANtrue, falseNONEnone, nullNOWutc current datetimeREGEXP/\d+\d+\w+/ARRAYlist of any items and any typesKeysKey literals must start with a letter or an underscore, such as:_underscoreunderscore_The remainder of your variable name may consist of letters, numbers and underscores.password1n00bun_der_scoresIf you need a key with separator character (.or/) because you use nested keys, or need spaces or other punctuation characters in key, use back-ticks (``)DictQuery supports nested dicts splited by dot.or any separator specified inkey_separatorparam. Defaultkey_separator='.'>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "`friends.age` <= 26")
True
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`friends/age` <= 26", key_separator='/')
>>> compiled.match(data)
Trueif you don't need nested keys parsing and want get keys as is or if your keys contain separator char, you can disable nested keys behaviour by settinguse_nested_keys=False>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "`user.address`")
False
>>> dq.match(data, "age")
True
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`user.address`", use_nested_keys=False)
>>> compiled.match(data)
TrueIn query you can use dict keys 'as is' without any binary operation. DictQuery will get value by the key and evaluate it to bool>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive")
False
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive == false")
Trueif key is not found by default this situation evaluates to booleanFalse(no exception raised).
You can setraise_keyerror=Trueto raise keyerror if key would not be found.>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "favoriteFruit")
False
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`favoriteFruit`", raise_keyerror=True)
>>> compiled.match(data)
