`orjsonl` is a lightweight, high-performance Python library for parsing jsonl files. It supports a wide variety of compression formats, including gzip, bzip2, xz and Zstandard. It is powered by [`orjson`](https://github.com/ijl/orjson), the fastest and most accurate json serializer for Python.

## Installation
`orjsonl` may be installed with `pip`:
```bash
pip install orjsonl
```

To read or write Zstandard files, install either [`zstd`](https://github.com/facebook/zstd) or the [`zstandard`](https://pypi.org/project/zstandard/) Python package.

## Usage
The code snippet below demonstrates how jsonl files can be saved, loaded, streamed, appended and extended with `orjsonl`:
```python
>>> import orjsonl
>>> # Create an iterable of Python objects.
>>> data = [
    'hello world',
    ['fizz', 'buzz'],
]
>>> # Save the iterable to a jsonl file.
>>> orjsonl.save('test.jsonl', data)
>>> # Append a Python object to the jsonl file.
>>> orjsonl.append('test.jsonl', {42 : 3.14})
>>> # Extend the jsonl file with an iterable of Python objects.
>>> orjsonl.extend('test.jsonl', [True, False])
>>> # Load the jsonl file.
>>> orjsonl.load('test.jsonl')
['hello world', ['fizz', 'buzz'], {42 : 3.14}, True, False]
>>> # Stream the jsonl file.
>>> list(orjsonl.stream('test.jsonl'))
['hello world', ['fizz', 'buzz'], {42 : 3.14}, True, False]
```

`orjsonl` can also be used to process jsonl files compressed with gzip, bzip2, xz and Zstandard:
```python
>>> orjsonl.save('test.jsonl.gz', data)
>>> orjsonl.append('test.jsonl.gz', {42 : 3.14})
>>> orjsonl.extend('test.jsonl.gz', [True, False])
>>> orjsonl.load('test.jsonl.gz')
['hello world', ['fizz', 'buzz'], {42 : 3.14}, True, False]
>>> [obj for obj in orjsonl.stream('test.jsonl.gz')]
['hello world', ['fizz', 'buzz'], {42 : 3.14}, True, False]
```

### Load
```python
def load(
    path: str | bytes | int | os.PathLike,
    decompression_threads: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_format: Optional[str] = None
) -> list[dict | list | int | float | str | bool | None]
```

`load()` deserializes a compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file to a list of Python objects.

`path` is a path-like object giving the pathname (absolute or relative to the current working directory) of the compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file to be deserialized.

`decompression_threads` is an optional integer passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`threads`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) argument that specifies the number of threads that should be used for decompression.

`compression_format` is an optional string passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`format`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#v130-2022-01-10) argument that overrides the autodetection of the file’s compression format based on its extension or content. Possible values are ‘gz’, ‘xz’, ‘bz2’ and ‘zst’.

This function returns a `list` object comprised of deserialized `dict`, `list`, `int`, `float`, `str`, `bool` or `None` objects.

### Stream
```python
def stream(
    path: str | bytes | int | os.PathLike,
    decompression_threads: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_format: Optional[str] = None
) -> Generator[dict | list | int | float | str | bool | None, None, None]
```

`stream()` creates a `generator` that deserializes a compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file to Python objects.

`path` is a path-like object giving the pathname (absolute or relative to the current working directory) of the compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file to be deserialized by the `generator`.

`decompression_threads` is an optional integer passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`threads`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) argument that specifies the number of threads that should be used for decompression.

`compression_format` is an optional string passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`format`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#v130-2022-01-10) argument that overrides the autodetection of the file’s compression format based on its extension or content. Possible values are ‘gz’, ‘xz’, ‘bz2’ and ‘zst’.

This function returns a `generator` that deserializes the file to `dict`, `list`, `int`, `float`, `str`, `bool` or `None` objects.

### Save
```python
def save(
    path: str | bytes | int | os.PathLike,
    data: Iterable,
    default: Optional[Callable] = None,
    option: int = 0,
    compression_level: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_threads: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_format: Optional[str] = None
) -> None
```

`save()` serializes an iterable of Python objects to a compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file.

`path` is a path-like object giving the pathname (absolute or relative to the current working directory) of the compressed or uncompressed UTF-8-encoded jsonl file to be saved.

`data` is an iterable of Python objects to be serialized to the file.

`default` is an optional callable passed to [`orjson.dumps()`](https://github.com/ijl/orjson#serialize) as the [`default`](https://github.com/ijl/orjson#default) argument that serializes subclasses or arbitrary types to supported types.

`option` is an optional integer passed to [`orjson.dumps()`](https://github.com/ijl/orjson#serialize) as the [`option`](https://github.com/ijl/orjson#option) argument that modifies how data is serialized.

`compression_level` is an optional integer passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`compresslevel`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#usage) argument that determines the compression level for writing to gzip, xz and Zstandard files.

`compression_threads` is an optional integer passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`threads`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) argument that specifies the number of threads that should be used for compression.

`compression_format` is an optional string passed to [`xopen.xopen()`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#xopen) as the [`format`](https://github.com/pycompression/xopen/#v130-2022-01-10) argument that overrides the autodetection of the file’s compression format based on its extension.

    path: str | bytes | int | os.PathLike,
    data: Any,
    newline: bool = True,
    default: Optional[Callable] = None,
    option: int = 0,
    compression_level: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_threads: Optional[int] = None,
    compression_format: Optional[str] = None
