Clojure functions to treat klists as maps.

Klists

Klists are sequential collections of maps with a single key-value pair as maps, similar to traditional lisp plists.

(require '[nl.jomco.klist :as klist])

(klist/get [{:pebbles 1}
            {:barney 2}
            {:fred 3}]
           :barney)
=> 2

This klist format is sometimes found in YAML configuration files:

- pebbles: 1
- barney: 2
- fred: 3

The klist functions can work with nested datastructures containing plain maps and klists:

(require '[nl.jomco.klist :as klist])

(klist/assoc-in {:rubbles     [{:barney 3}]
                 :flintstones [{:wilma 1}
                               {:fred 2}]}
                [:flintstones :fred] :changed)
=> {:rubbles     [{:barney 3}]
    :flintstones [{:wilma 1}
                  {:fred :changed}]}

Most functions in nl.jomco.klist have the same name as the corresponding functions in clojure.core, so requireing with an alias is strongly recommended over using :refer.

These datastructures are slow and mostly useless, so don't use it unless you have to deal with data that is already in this format.
