Generators

Using Generator instances to parse JSON schemas

The Generator class is used to parse conduit JSON schemas into a Node.

g = conduit.Generator("{test: {dtype: float64, value: 100.0}}",
                      "conduit_json")
n = conduit.Node()
g.walk(n)
print(n["test"])
print(n)

{
  "test": 100.0
}

The Generator can also parse pure json. For leaf nodes: wide types such as int64, uint64, and float64 are inferred.

g = conduit.Generator("{test: 100.0}",
                      "json")
n = conduit.Node()
g.walk(n)
print(n["test"])
print(n)

100.0

{
  "test": 100.0
}
