Helpers
-------

A large collection of dependency-free utility functions: recursive dictionary operations, ARN and
datetime parsing, chunking, type validation and more. Helpers are plain functions — import and use:

..  code-block:: python

    from sosw.components.helpers import recursive_update, recursive_matches_extract

..  note::

    :py:func:`~sosw.components.helpers.recursive_matches_extract` supports the
    ``case_insensitive`` option — contributed by `@SHMaryana <https://github.com/SHMaryana>`_
    (`#379 <https://github.com/sosw/sosw/pull/379>`_).

.. automodule:: sosw.components.helpers
