Tikray
About
Tikray is a generic and compact transformation engine written in Python, for data decoding, encoding, conversion, translation, transformation, and cleansing purposes, to be used as a pipeline element for data pre- or post-processing, or as a standalone converter program.
Details
A data model and implementation for a compact transformation engine based on JMESPath, jq, JSON Pointer (RFC 6901), rsonpath, transon, and DWIM.
The reference implementation is written in Python, using attrs and cattrs. The design, conventions, and definitions also encourage implementations in other programming languages.
Installation
The package is available from PyPI at tikray. To install the most recent version, invoke:
uv pip install --upgrade 'tikray'
Usage
