VDF serializer
==============
|VDF|_ is format similar to JSON or YAML, used by Valve to store data. This
module mimics built-in :code:`json` module and provides functions for
serialization and deserialization of :code:`VDF` files.
.. autofunction:: steam.vdf.dump
.. code:: python
>>> with open('dump.vdf', 'w') as file:
... vdf.dump({u"key": u"value", u"list": [1, 2, 3]}, file)
→ cat dump.vdf
"list"
{
"1" "1"
"2" "1"
"3" "1"
}
"key" "value"
.. autofunction:: steam.vdf.dumps
.. code:: python
>>> vdf_obj = vdf.dumps({"key": "value", "list": [1, 2, 3]})
>>> vdf_obj.decode('utf-16')
u'\n "list"\n {\n "1" "1"\n "2" "1"\n "3" "1"\n }\n\n "key" "value"\n'
.. autofunction:: steam.vdf.load
.. code:: python
>>> with open('dump.vdf', 'r') as file:
... vdf.load(file)
...
{u'list': {u'1': u'1', u'3': u'1', u'2': u'1'}, u'key': u'value'}
.. autofunction:: steam.vdf.loads
.. code:: python
>>> vdf.loads('"list" { "a" "1" "b" "2" "c" "3" }')
{u'list': {u'a': u'1', u'c': u'3', u'b': u'2'}}
