|  | ==================== | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | Overview | ||||||
|  | -------- | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | saucebrush is a tool for writing ETL pipelines in pure python. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | The basic premise of saucebrush is that you write `Recipe` that can then | ||||||
|  | be applied to data.  A `Recipe` is a pipeline consisting of `sources`, | ||||||
|  | `filters`, and `sinks`. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | A `source` is a simple object that yields one data one piece at a time. | ||||||
|  | An example of a source might be a CSV file or database, it is also possible | ||||||
|  | to write your own sources. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | A `filter` is a function that takes a single record and returns a modified | ||||||
|  | version of that record.  Writing a filter is as simple as writing a function | ||||||
|  | that modifies a single record in the desired way.  A fairly comprehensive | ||||||
|  | suite of common filters is also available making it possible to do common | ||||||
|  | tasks without writing any of your own filters. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | An `emitter` is actually a special case `filter` that doesn't modify | ||||||
|  | the record but instead writes data out in some way.  Emitters can be hooked | ||||||
|  | in anywhere in your pipeline but are typically placed at the end to | ||||||
|  | save the results of a recipe.  Similarly to `sources` filters exist for most | ||||||
|  | common formats (CSV, various SQL dialects, etc.) and it is also possible | ||||||
|  | to write your own emitter. | ||||||
