A small Python library which enables:
The `nested_lookup` package provides many Python functions for working with deeply nested documents. A document in this case is a a mixture of Python dictionary and list objects typically derived from YAML or JSON
#. key lookups on deeply nested documents.
#. fetching all keys from a nested dictionary.
#. get the number of occurrences of a key/value from a nested dictionary
Documents may be built out of dictionaries (dicts) and/or lists.
*nested_lookup:*
Perform a key lookup on a deeply nested document. Returns all matches in a `list`. (Please see tutorial for more info)
*nested_delete:*
Returns a document that includes everything but the given key
*nested_update:*
Returns a document that has updated key, value pair
*get_all_keys:*
Fetch all from a nested dictionary. Returns `list` of keys.
*get_occurrence_of_key/get_occurrence_of_value:*
Returns the number of occurrences of a key/value from a nested dictionary.
Make working with JSON, YAML, and XML document responses fun again!
