Kotlin Object Path

A library for Kotlin which lets you access properties and lists using a simple path (e.g "users.0.name").

Supports simple reflective access and is compatible with parsed JSON values from Jackson/Gson.

Inspired by object-path.

Usage

// Simple container which holds three values.
data class Container(val a: Any, val b: Any, val c: Any)

// Create an instance with some simple values.
val value = Container("0a", "0b", Container("0c1a", listOf("0c1b0", "0c1b1", "0c1b2"), mapOf(Pair("aa", "0c1c0"), Pair("bb", "0c1c2"))))

// Get a value:
KObjectPath(value).path("c.a").get() // returns "0c1a"
KObjectPath(value).path("c.b.0").get() // returns "0c1b0"
KObjectPath(value).path("c.c.aa").get() // returns "0c1c0"

// Set a value (Currently only supported on mutable Maps and Lists):
KObjectPath(value).path("c.b.0").set("new value")
KObjectPath(value).path("c.c.aa").set("new value")
