Phiera is a fork of Piera, a lightweight, pure-Python Hiera parser. Piera was originally built to provide Python tooling access to Puppet/Hiera configurations. The original Piera is currently not feature complete; lacking some less-used interpolation and loading features.
Table of content
Piera/Phiera generalizes Puppet Hiera's hierarchical storage system; making a simple, very flexible, abstracted, and DRY mechanism for managing complex configuration data available to a broad set of tooling and applicable to a broad set of problems.
Phiera builds on the original Piera work, adding:
- Python3 compatibility
- Support for deep merging
- Support for configuration as a dict
