A convenience utility for working with JSON config files.

Features

  • Automatically syncs file on changes.

  • Designed to be easily extended. Use different serializer libraries to easily switch to yaml, ini, etc.

  • Lightweight (<5KB) and Fast.

  • Takes advantage of Python’s native dictionary syntax.

  • Tested against python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and PYPY!

  • Unit Tested with high coverage.

  • Idiomatic, self-descriptive code & api

>>> import json_config
>>> config = json_config.connect('categories.json')
>>> config
Connect({})
>>> config['comics']['dc']['batman']['antagonists'] = ['Scarecrow', 'The Joker', 'Bane']
>>> config['comics']['marvel']['ironman']['antagonists'] = 'Ultron'
>>> print(config.serialize())
{
  "comics": {
    "dc": {
      "batman": {
        "antagonists": [
          "Scarecrow",

        ]
