MARDS

Data Serialization Based on Rolne Data Type

This is a Library of functions usefull for the interpretation of MARDS data serialization format.

This Library is dependent on the 'rolne' datatype class.

Usage

Simply import the library:

import MARDS

One can then convert a MARDS document into a rolne data type:

>>> my_doc = '''
>>> item zing
>>>     size 4
>>>     color red
>>>         intensity 44%
>>>     color yellow
>>> item womp
>>>     size 5
>>>     color blue
>>> item bam
>>> item broom
>>>     size 7
>>>     title "The "big" thing"
>>> zoom_flag
>>> system_title hello
>>> '''
>>> result = MARDS.string_to_rolne(my_doc)
>>> print result.get_list("items")
["zing", "womp", "bam", "broom"]

And, in reverse, one can create a MARDS document:

>>> my_doc = MARDS.rolne_to_string(result)
>>> print my_doc
x

For now, that is pretty much it. For manipulation of the rolne variable, please view the 'rolne' documentation.
