JSON:API ORM

Quick and dirty ORM that maps JSON:API responses to object attributes.

• Documentation: https://jsonapi-orm.readthedocs.io.

How To

Use Requests or (if you are a masochist) Python’s built-in urllib modules to make the request to your JSON:API service and from there pass the response to JSON:API ORM.

So, first install requests and this lib:

pip install requests
pip install jsonapi-orm

Switch to your Python code and use the magic!

import requests
from jsonapi_orm import response_to_obj


# list of items
r = requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mislavcimpersak/jsonapi-orm/master/tests/responses/example_list.json')
obj = response_to_obj(r.json())

print('LIST OF ITEMS:')
for item in obj.data:
    print(item.title)
    # author is defined as a relationship
    print(item.author.twitter)


# single item
r = requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mislavcimpersak/jsonapi-orm/master/tests/responses/example_single.json')
obj = response_to_obj(r.json())

print('SINGLE ITEM')
print(obj.data.title)
# author is defined as a relationship
print(obj.data.author.id)
print(obj.data.author.twitter)

Caveats

• Since Python object attribute names have certain rules like not starting with a number or not containing “-” char, all such attributes can be accessed using .get() method. Ie. obj.data.author.get('first-name').

• If relationship is not described in more detail in the included part of the response matching fails silently.

• For now, this lib does not lazily follow relationship links or anything like that. You can of course make a new request to the given link and pass that response to JSON:API ORM.

• For now, there is no check if response is a valid JSON:API response. But you’ll probably get that you are trying to parse an invalid response when things start to break.

• And last, this lib requires Python 3.5 or newer.
