# Overview
**Shared** is a Python package created to be the programmer's companion when it comes to storing unstructured application data, managing configuration files, caching data, and exchanging data with other programs.
Under the hood, Shared uses [Paradict](https://github.com/pyrustic/paradict) to encode a dictionary populated with **strings**, **scalars** (integer, float, decimal float, complex, booleans), **date** and **time**, **null** value, **binary** data and nested **collections** (list, set, and dictionary).
> **Note:** This library isn't intended to replace a proper relational database such as SQLite !
# Example
```python
from shared import Dossier, HOME
from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
# load a picture
with open("/home/alex/image.png", "rb") as file:
photo = file.read()
# create a user profile dictionary embedding the picture
now = datetime.now()
profile = {"name": "alex", "access_datetime": now, "photo": photo,
"pi": 3.14, "books": ["Seul sur Mars", "The Fall"],
"is_author": True, "fingerprint": None}
# create a dossier (or access an existing one)
path = Path(HOME, "my_dossier")
dossier = Dossier(path)
# save profile dictionary in the dossier
dossier.set("my_profile", profile)
# retrieve profile dictionary
profile_bis = dossier.get("my_profile")
# let's compare the two profile objects !
assert profile == profile_bis
```
# API

# Installation
**Shared** is **cross platform**. It is built on [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) with [Python 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and should work on **Python 3.5** or **newer**.
