probator.json_utils

class probator.json_utils.ProbatorJSONEncoder(*, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, sort_keys=False, indent=None, separators=None, default=None)

Bases: json.encoder.JSONEncoder

Custom JSON encoding function.

This class will check if the object being serialized has a function called to_json(), and call it if available, as well as adding a type-hint value to the output dict (__type key/value pair)

default(obj)

Default object encoder function

Parameters:obj (Any) – Object to be serialized Returns:JSON string

class probator.json_utils.ProbatorJSONDecoder(*, object_hook=None, parse_float=None, parse_int=None, parse_constant=None, strict=True, object_pairs_hook=None)

Bases: json.decoder.JSONDecoder

Custom JSON decoding class

This class will attempt to convert object serialized by ProbatorJSONEncoder back into Python objects, using the type-hinting done by the encoder.

static object_hook(obj)

Checks to see if the __type-hinting field is available in the object being de-serialized. If present, and the class referenced has a from_json function it will return the generated object, else a standard dic will be returned

Parameters:obj – Object to be deserialized Returns:Deserialized object or regular python objec
