Box: Python dictionaries with advanced dot notation access
- ctippett 2y agoReminds me of glom[1], another Python library that allows for traversing dicts using dot notation. >>> data = {'a': {'b': {'c': 'd'}}} >>> glom(data, 'a.b.c') 'd' Box uses a slightly different approach. >>> data = Box({'a': {'b': {'c': 'd'}}}) >>> data.a.b.c 'd' I didn't see anything in the README about type inference, which would make the later example more desirable in my opinion. Otherwise I would prefer not to introduce a new container class to my code (Box) if avoidable. [1] https://github.com/mahmoud/glom https://github.com/mahmoud/glom
