Parsing Library

The parsing library is a Python library which provides functions to parse raw logs into log entries (as Python dicts) and to convert those log entries to HTML.

The Parsing Library exposes a single class: LogParser. This class has two public static functions:

parse (raw_log_data)

• Arguments:
  • raw_log_data (string): the raw log data from the Mobile API.
• Returns:
  • dict: A Python list of Log Entry dictionaries, each of which have the following fields:
    • time (datetime): the time the log occurred
    • text (string): the text of the log
    • tag (string): The tag on the log. For Android, this allows the user to specify an additional annotation to add to their log entry for organizational purposes.
    • logType (string): The type of log (Warning, Error, Info, etc.)

convert_line_to_html(parsed_line)

• Arguments:
  • parsed_line (string): Parsed line of a log
• Returns:
  • string: A string containing an HTML table row which represent the log entry.

convert_to_html(parsed_log_dict)

• Arguments:
  • parsed_log_dict (dict): A python list of Log Entry dictionaries, each of which have the following fields:
    • time (datetime): the time the log occurred
    • text (string): the text of the log
    • tag (string): The tag on the log. For Android, this allows the user to specify an additional annotation to add to their log entry for organizational purposes.
    • logType (string): The type of log (Warning, Error, Info, etc.)
• Returns:
  • string: A string containing the HTML table rows (not the entire table) which represent the log entries.
