Data-structure definition/validation/traversal, mapping and serialisation toolkit for Python

Project description

Odin provides a declarative framework for defining resources (classes) and their relationships, validation of the fields that make up the resources and mapping between objects (either a resource, or other python structures).

Odin also comes with built in serialisation tools for importing and exporting data from resources.

Highlights

  • Class based declarative style

  • Class based annotations style! ✨ new in 2.0

  • Fields for building composite resources

  • Field and Resource level validation

  • Easy extension to support custom fields

  • Python 3.8+ and PyPy 1 supported

  • Support for documenting resources with Sphinx

  • Minimal dependencies

1 certain contrib items are not supported. Pint is not installable with PyPy.

Use cases

  • Design, document and validate complex (and simple!) data structures

  • Convert structures to and from different formats such as JSON, YAML, MsgPack, CSV, TOML

  • Validate API inputs

  • Define message formats for communications protocols, like an RPC

  • Map API requests to ORM objects

Upcoming features

In development

  • XML Codec (export only)

  • Complete documentation coverage

  • Improvements for CSV Codec (writing, reading multi resource CSV’s)

Requires

Optional

  • simplejson - Odin will use simplejson if it is available or fallback to the builtin json library

  • msgpack-python - To enable use of the msgpack codec

  • pyyaml - To enable use of the YAML codec

  • toml - To enable use of the TOML codec

Contrib

  • arrow - Support for Arrow data types.

  • pint - Support for physical quantities using the Pint library.

Development

  • pytest - Testing

  • pytest-cov - Coverage reporting

Example

Definition

import odin

class Author(odin.Resource):
    name = odin.StringField()

class Publisher(odin.Resource):
    name = odin.StringField()

class Book(odin.Resource):
    title = odin.StringField()
    authors = odin.ArrayOf(Author)
    publisher = odin.DictAs(Publisher)
    genre = odin.StringField()
    num_pages = odin.IntegerField()

Using Annotations

import odin

class Author(odin.AnnotatedResource):
    name: str

class Publisher(odin.AnnotatedResource):
    name: str
    website: Optional[odin.Url]

class Book(odin.AnnotatedResource):
    title: str
    authors: List[Author]
    publisher: Publisher
    genre: str
    num_pages: int

Usage:

>>> b = Book(
        title="Consider Phlebas",
        genre="Space Opera",
        publisher=Publisher(name="Macmillan"),
        num_pages=471
    )
>>> b.authors.append(Author(name="Iain M. Banks"))
>>> from odin.codecs import json_codec
>>> json_codec.dumps(b, indent=4)
{
    "$": "Book",
    "authors": [
        {
            "$": "Author",
            "name": "Iain M. Banks"
        }
    ],
    "genre": "Space Opera",
    "num_pages": 471,
    "publisher": {
        "$": "Publisher",
        "name": "Macmillan"
    },
    "title": "Consider Phlebas"
}
