deepopenstruct

== deepopenstruct

DeepOpenStruct is a simple library for creating easy-to-use data structures from complex sets of nested Hashes and Arrays. It is particularly suitable for creating easy-to-use data structures from YAML files, and as such is a useful tool for creating simple reflective API wrappers.

=== Installation

gem install deepopenstruct

=== Usage

require 'rubygems' require 'deepopenstruct'

complex_data = { :name => "Bob Winkle", :age => 65, :jobs => [ {'start_year' => 1980, 'title' => 'Chef'}, {'start_year' => 1985, 'title' => 'Programmer'} ], :attributes => { :birthplace => "Darwin", :year_of_birth => 1945 } }

simple_data = DeepOpenStruct.load(complex_data)

simple_data.name

=> "Bob Winkle"

simple_data.jobs.first.title

=> "Chef"

simple_data.attributes.birthplace

=> "Darwin"

=== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request! Bonus points for topic/feature branches.
