Module

Convert-Pheno core is a Perl module available at CPAN.

Perl usage

The most direct programmatic interface is the Perl module itself:

use Convert::Pheno;

my $my_pxf_json_data = {
    phenopacket => {
        id      => "P0007500",
        subject => {
            id          => "P0007500",
            dateOfBirth => "unknown-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            sex         => "FEMALE"
        }
    }
};

my $convert = Convert::Pheno->new(
    {
        data   => $my_pxf_json_data,
        method => 'pxf2bff'
    }
);

my $data = $convert->pxf2bff;

That is the most complete and best-supported programmatic path in the project.

About Python usage

A Python bridge is included in the repository for interoperability, but the underlying conversion logic still runs in Perl.

If you need Python integration, check:

• Use as an API
• share/ex/python.py

Python support

The Python layer is a wrapper around the Perl module rather than an independent implementation of the conversion logic.
