Class mappings for serializing and deserializing in JSON

from pyser import SchemaJSON, SerField, DeserField
class FruitBasketSchema(SchemaJSON):
    def __init__(self):
        self.name           = DeserField()
        self.fruit          = DeserField()
        self.iD             = DeserField(name='ref', kind=int)
        self.intString      = DeserField(kind=int)
        self.optionalString = DeserField(kind=str, optional=True)
        self.items          = DeserField(repeated=True)

        self.name           = SerField()
        self.fruit          = SerField()
        self.iD             = SerField(name='ref', kind=int)
        self.intString      = SerField(kind=int)
        self.optionalString = SerField(optional=True)
        self.items          = SerField(repeated=True)
        self.register       = SerField(parent_keys=['checkout'], kind=int)
        self.amount         = SerField(parent_keys=['checkout'], kind=int)


fruit_basket_schema = FruitBasketSchema()


class FruitBasket():
    def __init__(self):
        self.name           = 'basket'
        self.fruit          = 'banana'
        self.iD             = '123'
        self.intString      = '12345'
        self.optionalString = None
        self.items          = ['paper', 'rock']
        self.register       = '1'
        self.amount         = '10'

Serializing to a JSON file

basket = FruitBasket()
fruit_basket_schema.to_json(basket, filename="basket.json")

File contents of basket.json after serializing:

{
    "name": "basket",
    "fruit": "banana",
    "ref": 123,
    "intString": 12345,
    "items": [
        "paper",
        "rock"
    ],
    "checkout": {
        "register": 1,
        "amount": 10
    }
}

Similarly deserialization from a json file:

basket = FruitBasket()
fruit_basket_schema.from_json(basket, raw_json=raw_json)

Installation

Installation by hand: you can download the source files from PyPi or Github:

python setup.py install

Installation with pip: make sure that you have pip installed, type this in a terminal:

pip install pyser

Documentation

Running build_docs has additional dependencies that require installation.

pip install pyser[docs]

The documentation can be generated and viewed via:

$ python setup.py build_docs

You can pass additional arguments to the documentation build, such as clean build:

$ python setup.py build_docs -E

More information is available from the Sphinx documentation.

Running Tests

Run the python command

python setup.py test
