Settings View Source Erlang Generized Data Structure Library

Everyone has to reinvent this wheel, here's my version

A simple library for doing common things with common Erlang data structures (proplists, dicts, and maps for now). all with the same function calls. These all follow certain conventions:

• Calls are short (ds:get instead of proplists:get_value or lists:keyfind).
• Perform inline actions with some standardized procedures for common things (e.g. ds:atomize(Obj, [key1, key2]) converts the values of the associated keys key1 and key2 into atoms and returns the new Object
• Filtering Keys (ds:keep(Obj, [good_key, other_good_key]) removes all keys from the Object that aren't missing. The reverse of this is ds:delete_list(Obj, [bad_key, other_bad_key])
• Merging objects
• Provides a helper for sorting lists of objects
• All functions will return the same object type as was passed in. So if Obj is a proplist, it will return a proplist. If Obj is a map, it will return a map, etc.
