"""Interface for (de)serializable JSON objects.
Please recall, that standard Python library implements
:class:`json.JSONEncoder` and :class:`json.JSONDecoder` that perform
translations based on respective :ref:`conversion tables
<conversion-table>` that look pretty much like the one below (for
complete tables see relevant Python documentation):
.. _conversion-table:
====== ======
JSON Python
====== ======
object dict
... ...
====== ======
While the above **conversion table** is about translation of JSON
documents to/from the basic Python types only,
:class:`JSONDeSerializable` introduces the following two concepts:
serialization
Turning an arbitrary Python object into Python object that can
be encoded into a JSON document. **Full serialization** produces
a Python object composed of only basic types as required by the
:ref:`conversion table <conversion-table>`. **Partial
serialization** (accomplished by :meth:`to_partial_json`)
produces a Python object that might also be built from other
:class:`JSONDeSerializable` objects.
deserialization
Turning a decoded Python object (necessarily one of the basic
types as required by the :ref:`conversion table
<conversion-table>`) into an arbitrary Python object.
Serialization produces **serialized object** ("partially serialized
object" or "fully serialized object" for partial and full
serialization respectively) and deserialization produces
**deserialized object**, both usually denoted in the source code as
``jobj``.
Wording in the official Python documentation might be confusing
after reading the above, but in the light of those definitions, one
can view :meth:`json.JSONDecoder.decode` as decoder and
deserializer of basic types, :meth:`json.JSONEncoder.default` as
serializer of basic types, :meth:`json.JSONEncoder.encode` as
serializer and encoder of basic types.
One could extend :mod:`json` to support arbitrary object
(de)serialization either by:
- overriding :meth:`json.JSONDecoder.decode` and
:meth:`json.JSONEncoder.default` in subclasses
- or passing ``object_hook`` argument (or ``object_hook_pairs``)
to :func:`json.load`/:func:`json.loads` or ``default`` argument
for :func:`json.dump`/:func:`json.dumps`.
Interestingly, ``default`` is required to perform only partial
serialization, as :func:`json.dumps` applies ``default``
recursively. This is the idea behind making :meth:`to_partial_json`
produce only partial serialization, while providing custom
:meth:`json_dumps` that dumps with ``default`` set to
:meth:`json_dump_default`.
To make further documentation a bit more concrete, please, consider
the following imaginatory implementation example::
class Foo(JSONDeSerializable):
def to_partial_json(self):
return 'foo'
@classmethod
def from_json(cls, jobj):
return Foo()
class Bar(JSONDeSerializable):
def to_partial_json(self):
return [Foo(), Foo()]
@classmethod
def from_json(cls, jobj):
return Bar()
"""
@abc.abstractmethod
def to_partial_json(self) -> Any: # pragma: no cover
"""Partially serialize.
Following the example, **partial serialization** means the following::
assert isinstance(Bar().to_partial_json()[0], Foo)
assert isinstance(Bar().to_partial_json()[1], Foo)
# in particular...
assert Bar().to_partial_json() != ['foo', 'foo']
:raises josepy.errors.SerializationError:
in case of any serialization error.
:returns: Partially serializable object.
"""
raise NotImplementedError()
def to_json(self) -> Any:
"""Fully serialize.
Again, following the example from before, **full serialization**
means the following::
assert Bar().to_json() == ['foo', 'foo']
:raises josepy.errors.SerializationError:
in case of any serialization error.
:returns: Fully serialized object.
