                Path Resolver
                =============
        
                Resolve paths within nested objects.
        
                # What is Path Resolver?
        
                Path Resolver is a very simple piece of python code that allows you to dynamic resolve deeply-nested (or as shallow as you please)
                structures in Python.
        
                # Why would I use this?
        
                Path Resolver was born out of a need to dynamically find data within nested JSON information.
        
                For example, perhaps I want to extract a bunch of information from a dictionary deep within a JSON structure.
                I could, for example, simple write a lot of code and hard-coded indexes, key lookups, et cetera.
        
                Or, alternatively, I could use a simple DSL to look up and resolve the items I need. This is what Path Resolver is.
        
                # Example Usage
        
                ## Simple Usage
        
                >>> resolve(['testvalue'], 0)
                ['testvalue']
        
                >>> resolve(['testvalue'], '0')
                'testvalue'
        
                >>> resolve(['testvalue'], '*')
                ['testvalue']
        
                >>> resolve({'key': 'testvalue'}, 'key')
                'testvalue'
        
                >>> resolve({'key': 'testvalue'}, '*')
                ['testvalue']
        
                ## Advanced Usage
        
                >>> resolve({'parent': ['one', 'two', 'three']}, 'parent.*')
                ['one', 'two', 'three']
        
                >>> resolve({'parent': [{'child': 'testvalue1'}]}, 'parent.*.child')
                ['testvalue1']
        
                >>> resolve({'parent': [{'child': 'testvalue1'}, {'child': 'testvalue2'}]}, 'parent.*.child')
                ['testvalue1', 'testvalue2']
        
                >>> resolve({'parent': {'child1': 'testvalue1', 'child2': 'testvalue2'}}, 'parent.*')
                ['testvalue1', 'testvalue2']
