A fast GridLAB-D to JSON (and back) parser.
- Fast GLM to JSON converter.
- Supports nested objects, schedules, definitions, directives, modules, includes and clock objects
- Fast JSON to GLM converter.
- Native support for Python, returns nested dictionaries.
- Descriptive error messages when unable to parse a GridLAB-D model file.
- Tested on all examples in the GridLAB-D source repository.
Go to the latest releases page for the Python or the CLI for various operating systems.
You can pip install the package from PyPI or using the wheel (files with extension .whl) after downloading it or directly from the URL from the releases page.
The following installs the latest glm package for Windows, MacOSX or Linux from PyPI. This will work for Python2 or Python3.
pip install glm
This also installs the glm2json
and json2glm
cli utilities.
You can use this from the command line as follows:
Usage:
glm2json [required&optional-params]
Convert from glm/json to json/glm
Options(opt-arg sep :|=|spc):
-h, --help write this help to stdout
--version bool false write version to stdout
-p=, --pathToFile= string REQUIRED set pathToFile
--pretty bool false set pretty
./glm2json --path-to-file ./tests/data/4node.glm --pretty ✔ 10397 18:20:47
