Catmandu 1.00
After 4 years of programming, 88 minor releases we are finally there: the release of Catmandu 1.00! We have pushed the test coverage of the code to 93.97% and added and cleaned a lot of our documentation.
For the new features read our Changes file.
A few important changes should be noted.
By default Catmandu will read and write valid JSON files. In previous versions the default input format was (new)line delimited JSON records as in:
{"record":"1"}
{"record":"2"}
{"record":"3"}
instead of the valid JSON array format:
[{"record":"1"},{"record":"2"},{"record":"3"}]
The old format can still be used as input but will be read much faster when using the –line_delimited option on the command line. Thus, write:
# fast
$ catmandu convert JSON --line_delimited 1 < lines.json.txt
instead of:
# slow
$ catmandu convert JSON < lines.json.txt
By default Catmandu will export in the valid JSON-array format. If you still need to use the old format, then provide the –line_delimited option on the command line:
$ catmandu convert YAML to JSON --line_delimited 1 < data.yaml
