# jsondict
|
|
|
|
This is a python package called jsondict that wraps a dict to
|
|
provide dumb json file backed persistence.
|
|
|
|
It also returns a default of `None` for missing keys instead of KeyError,
|
|
because an exception for an undefined key is annoying, so it's sort of like
|
|
a defaultdict.
|
|
|
|
It's not general purpose, and it's not for large amounts of data. It's
|
|
just sort of like a standard dictionary that you don't need to worry about
|
|
reading/saving to disk. It's naive and inefficient but perfect for
|
|
application configs and whatnot. Don't be silly and put more than a few
|
|
kilobytes in this, the whole file is written out every update and the whole
|
|
file is re-read and re-parsed every read.
|
