asdf-pydantic

Create ASDF tags with pydantic models.

from asdf_pydantic import AsdfPydanticModel

class Rectangle(AsdfPydanticModel):
    _tag = "asdf://asdf-pydantic/examples/tags/rectangle-1.0.0"

    width: float
    height: float

# After creating extension and install ...

af = asdf.AsdfFile()
af["rect"] = Rectangle(width=1, height=1)

Features

• Create ASDF tag from your pydantic models with batteries (converters) included.
• Validates data models as you create them and not only when reading and writing ASDF files.
• Preserve Python types when deserializing ASDF files.
• All the cool things that comes with pydantic (e.g., JSON encoder, JSON schema, Pydantic types).
• Comes with ASDF schemas (TBD).

Installation

pip install asdf-pydantic

Usage

Define your data model with AsdfPydanticModel. For pydantic fans, this has all the features of pydantic's BaseModel.

# mypackage/shapes.py
from asdf_pydantic import AsdfPydanticModel

class Rectangle(AsdfPydanticModel):
    _tag = "asdf://asdf-pydantic/examples/tags/rectangle-1.0.0"

    width: float
    height: float

Then create an extension with the converter included with asdf-pydantic:

# mypackage/extensions.py
from asdf.extension import Extension
from asdf_pydantic.converter import AsdfPydanticConverter
from mypackage.shapes import Rectangle

converter = AsdfPydanticConverter()
converter.add_models(Rectangle)

class ShapesExtension(Extension):
    extension_uri = "asdf://asdf-pydantic/examples/extensions/shapes-1.0.0"
    converters = [converter]
    tags = [*converter.tags]

Install the extension either by entry point specification or add it to asdf.get_config():

import asdf
from mypackage.extensions import ShapeExtension

asdf.get_config().add_extension(ShapesExtension())

af = asdf.AsdfFile()
af["rect"] = Rectangle(width=1, height=1)

with open("shapes.asdf", "wb") as fp:
    af.write_to(fp)
