Hello Python-ideas,
I am working with lots of JSON objects in my work and need to obtain JSON
pointers to particular components of a JSON object. These pointers are
defined as part of the JSON-LD specifications as relative IRIs and as part
of the JSON-Schema specifications. However, I am not aware
You've given some examples of what flatten() does, but I still don't
really understand how it's expected to work. Could you provide a
specification, rather than just examples? Also, I've never needed a
function like this in anything I've ever done - that may mean nothing,
but it does suggest that y
Paul,
I agree that the mapping to a flat data structure might have limited use
cases. However, like you said it is only one example. What I am proposing
is a nested iteration tool that can map both keys and values to new keys
and new values. It only considers nesting in dictionaries, lists, and

I could say the same thing about JSON dumps then and most itertools
functions. The proposed functionality is in line with existing
functionality and extends it to the case of nested data structures.

JSON itself is standardized, heavily
Maybe your examples aren't making it clear what you're suggesting,
then. I'm in agreement with Chris, your "nested iteration tool" sounds
like something that would have so many configuration options and
parameters that it would be harder to use than traversing "by hand".
But maybe you imagine some
Side note: there is a library, scalpl, which does quite a lot of what you
want with keys. But they use a slightly different syntax for list items.
They might be amenable to adding a JSON schema dialect.

I would add that this seems to me like something you need.
So be all means write it, document it, maybe publish it on PyPi, and then,
if it does seem to be generally useful, propose it for the stdlib.
In fact, if something like this were to be included in the stdlib, we’d
probably want a back-po
Thank you so much for all of your responses. I am not aware of the
procedure for suggesting ideas but building a PyPI package with
documentation and then sharing here seems like a good way to build this out
(which I will get started on). Also, scalpl looks really cool, although I
am not sure it doe
