fynd

fynd makes it super simple to search for strings in complex list/dict (JSON like) data structures. It returns a list of paths from root of the data structure to the found strings.

Installation

pip install fynd

Usage

from fynd import Fynd as fynd

COLLECTION = {
    'blogposts': [
        {
            'title': 'Lorem Ipsum',
            'text': 'Dolor Sit Amet Blah Blah Blah'
        },
        {
            'title': 'Brown Fox',
            'text': 'The quick brown fox jumps over blah'
        }
    ]
}

# default usage:
RESULT = fynd('blah').inside(COLLECTION)
# ^ will return,
# [
#    ['blogposts', 0, 'text'], 
#    ^ COLLECTION['blogposts'][0]['text'] == 'Dolor Sit ... Blah'
#    ['blogposts', 1, 'text']
#    ^ COLLECTION['blogposts'][1]['text'] == 'The quick ... blah'
# ]

# case sensitive usage:
