Serialize python standard types (function, tuple, complex, range, bytes, dict with number keys, byte keys or tuple keys, and etc) with json. No dependencies, just needs json lib (or other json libraries). --Changes: Added range type support.

Project description

Serialize python standard types (function, tuple, complex, range, bytes, dict with number keys, byte keys or tuple keys, and etc) with json. lambdaJSON lets you serialize python standard library objects with json. Typical usage:

#!/usr/bin/env python

>>> import lambdaJSON
>>> myComplexData = {True: (3-5j), (3+5j): b'json', (1, 2, 3): {b'lambda': [1, 2, 3, (3, 4, 5)]}}
>>> mySerializedData = lambdaJSON.serialize(myComplexData)
>>> myComplexData  == lambdaJSON.deserialize(mySerializedData)
True

>>>

To pass args and kwargs to the encoder/decoder simply pass them to the serialize/deserialize function, example for json:

>>> mySerializedData = lambdaJSON.serialize(myComplexData, sort_keys = True)
>>> myComplexData  == lambdaJSON.deserialize(mySerializedData, object_hook = my_hook)

It can be done for ujson too. You can also serialize python functions:

>>> import lambdaJSON
>>> def f(): print('lambdaJSON Rocks!')

>>> mySerializedFunction = lambdaJSON.serialize(f)
>>> myNewFunction  = lambdaJSON.deserialize(mySerializedFunction)
>>> myNewFunction()
'lambdaJSON Rocks!'
>>>

Added in version 0.2.2, you can pass the list of globals for function deserialization, see the example below:

>>> import lambdaJSON
>>> y = 10
>>> def f(x): return x*y

>>> mySerializedFunction = lambdaJSON.serialize(f)
>>> myNewFunction  = lambdaJSON.deserialize(mySerializedFunction, globs = {'y':11})
>>> myNewFunction(5)
55
>>>

I’m working on a way to pass real references to the global variables, not just an static value, any suggestions are welcome.

After the support for all types are added, I’m planning to release a query friendly version of this library, that will be in version 0.3.0.

Currently Supported Types

This types are covered in this version:

  1. Functions

  2. Bytes

  3. Tuples

  4. Complex

  5. Range

  6. Dicts (With Number, Tuple, String, Bool and Byte keys)

  7. other json supported types

Changes from previous

Added Range support.
