Turn JSON into Python Object

json_to_pyobj.py

"""
Building a Python object from JSON isn't as straightforward as it looks.
SimpleNamespace only allows you to access fields that are valid variable
names. This poses a problem for JSON that contains invalid characters.

Here is my solution:

```
# Doesn't work:
>>> data = json.loads(some_str, object_hook=lambda d: SimpleNamespace(**d))
>>> print(data.foo.bar.%some$string&that*isn't#valid!python)

# BetterNamespace Solution:
>>> data = json.loads(some_str, object_hook=lambda d: BetterNamespace(**d))
>>> print(data.foo.bar['%some$string&that*isn't#valid!python'])
```
"""

from types import SimpleNamespace
import requests


class BetterNamespace(SimpleNamespace):
	def __getitem__(self, key):
		return getattr(self, key)

	
obj_maker = lambda d: BetterNamespace(**d)
text = requests.get('...').text
data = json.loads(text, object_hook=obj_maker)

# Supports Arbitrary Strings!
print(data.paths['/my/endpoint'].get.parameters)
