=======
structa
=======

structa is a small, semi-magical utility for discerning the "overall structure"
of large data files. Typically this is something like a document oriented
database in JSON format, or a CSV file of a database dump, or a YAML document.

Usage
=====

Use from the command line::

structa

The usual ``--help`` and ``--version`` switches are available for more
information. The full `documentation`_ may also help understanding the myriad
switches!

Examples
========

The `People in Space API`_ shows the number of people currently in space, and
their names and craft name::

curl -s http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json | structa

Output::

{
'message': str range="success" pattern="success",
'number': int range=10,
'people': [
{
'craft': str range="ISS".."Tiangong",
'name': str range="Akihiko Hoshide".."Thomas Pesquet"
}
]
}

The `Python Package Index`_ (PyPI) provides a JSON API for packages. You can
feed the JSON of several packages to ``structa`` to get an idea of the overall
structure of these records (when structa is given multiple inputs on the same
invocation, it assumes all have a common source)::

for pkg in numpy scipy pandas matplotlib structa; do
curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/$pkg/json > $pkg.json
done
structa numpy.json scipy.json pandas.json matplotlib.json structa.json

Output::

The `Ubuntu Security Notices`_ database contains the list of all security
issues in releases of Ubuntu (warning, this one takes some time to analyze and
eats about a gigabyte of RAM while doing so)::

curl -s https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn-db/database.json | structa

Output::
