A codec is a device or computer program that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal. Codec is a portmanteau of coder/decoder.
A coder or encoder encodes a data stream or a signal for transmission or storage, [...], and the decoder function reverses the encoding for playback or editing.
Change Data Capture (CDC): Transformer components for converging CDC event messages to SQL statements.
A collection of reusable utilities with minimal dependencies for decoding and transcoding purposes, mostly collected from other projects like Kotori and LorryStream, in order to provide them per standalone package for broader use cases.
Tikray, 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- and/or post-processing.
The package is available from PyPI at commons-codec. To install the most recent version, including support for MongoDB, and Tikray, run:
pip install --upgrade 'commons-codec[mongodb,tikray]'
In order to learn how to use the library, please visit the documentation, and explore the source code or its examples.
Kudos to the authors of all the many software components this library is vendoring and building upon.
The commons-codec package is an open source project, and is
managed on GitHub. The project is still in its infancy, and
we appreciate contributions of any kind.
The Apache Commons Codec library was the inspiration for the name. Otherwise, both libraries' ingredients don't have anything in common, yet.
The project uses the LGPLv3 license for the whole ensemble. However, individual portions of the code base are vendored from other Python packages, where deviating licenses may apply. Please check for detailed license information within the header sections of relevant files.
