Python SuperConverter. Convert YAML / TOML / CSV / TSV / TOON / TSON / XML to any format!
This python superconverter allows for the conversion of YAML to TOML to CSV to TSV to TOON to TSON to XML or any direction you want!

class UniversalDataConverter:
"""
A comprehensive Python class providing bidirectional conversions between six text-based data formats:
YAML, TOML, CSV, TSV, TOON, TSON, and XML. All conversions support nested data structures via
an intermediate canonical dictionary representation. CSV/TSV flatten nested data using dot and index notation.
TOON and TSON are custom LLM-optimized formats; XML uses element trees with attributes for arrays.
Dependencies:
pip install pyyaml tomli tomli-w
