Configuration Value

rconf.Leaf

alias of Union[str, int, float, bool, None, date, datetime, time, bytes, bytearray, memoryview]

class rconf.Value

The core types of rconf.

A configuration rconf.Value is defined as

• a dict with str keys as a mapping to represent a mapping,

• a list or tuple as a sequence to represent an array and

• other types listed below as leafs.

The mapping values and sequence elements can in turn be any valid rconf.Value instance.

This definition allows rconf to be a drop-in replacement for json.load(), json.loads(), tomllib.load() and tomllib.loads().
