`anyconfig.backend.json`¶

JSON backend:

Format to support: JSON, http://www.json.org

Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable
Limitations: None obvious
Special options:
- All options of json.load{s,} and json.dump{s,} except object_hook should work.
- See also: https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html or https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html dependent on the python version to use.

Changelog:

New in version 0.0.1.

class anyconfig.backend.json.Parser¶

Bases: anyconfig.backend.base.StringStreamFnParser

Parser for JSON files.

_type = 'json'¶

_extensions = ['json', 'jsn', 'js']¶

_load_opts = ['cls', 'object_hook', 'parse_float', 'parse_int', 'parse_constant', 'encoding', 'object_pairs_hook']¶

_dump_opts = ['skipkeys', 'ensure_ascii', 'check_circular', 'allow_nan', 'cls', 'indent', 'separators', 'default', 'sort_keys', 'encoding']¶

_ordered = True¶

_dict_opts = ['object_pairs_hook', 'object_hook']¶

_load_from_string_fn(*args, **kwargs)¶

Deserialize s (a str or unicode instance containing a JSON document) to a Python object.

If s is a str instance and is encoded with an ASCII based encoding other than utf-8 (e.g. latin-1) then an appropriate encoding name must be specified. Encodings that are not ASCII based (such as UCS-2) are not allowed and should be decoded to unicode first.

object_hook is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decode (a dict). The return value of object_hook will be used instead of the dict. This feature can be used to implement custom decoders (e.g. JSON-RPC class hinting).

object_pairs_hook is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decoded with an ordered list of pairs. The return value of object_pairs_hook will be used instead of the dict. This feature can be used to implement custom decoders that rely on the order that the key and value pairs are decoded (for example, collections.OrderedDict will remember the order of insertion). If object_hook is also defined, the object_pairs_hook takes priority.

parse_float, if specified, will be called with the string of every JSON float to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to float(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser for JSON floats (e.g. decimal.Decimal).

parse_int, if specified, will be called with the string of every JSON int to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to int(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser for JSON integers (e.g. float).

parse_constant, if specified, will be called with one of the following strings: -Infinity, Infinity, NaN. This can be used to raise an exception if invalid JSON numbers are encountered.

To use a custom JSONDecoder subclass, specify it with the cls kwarg; otherwise JSONDecoder is used.

_load_from_stream_fn(*args, **kwargs)¶

Deserialize fp (a .read()-supporting file-like object containing a JSON document) to a Python object.

If the contents of fp is encoded with an ASCII based encoding other than utf-8 (e.g. latin-1), then an appropriate encoding name must be specified. Encodings that are not ASCII based (such as UCS-2) are not allowed, and should be wrapped with codecs.getreader(fp)(encoding), or simply decoded to a unicode object and passed to loads()

object_hook is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decode (a dict). The return value of object_hook will be used instead of the dict. This feature can be used to implement custom decoders (e.g. JSON-RPC class hinting).

object_pairs_hook is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decoded with an ordered list of pairs. The return value of object_pairs_hook will be used instead of the dict. This feature can be used to implement custom decoders that rely on the order that the key and value pairs are decoded (for example, collections.OrderedDict will remember the order of insertion). If object_hook is also defined, the object_pairs_hook takes priority.

To use a custom JSONDecoder subclass, specify it with the cls kwarg; otherwise JSONDecoder is used.

_dump_to_string_fn(*args, **kwargs)¶

Serialize obj to a JSON formatted str.

If skipkeys is true then dict keys that are not basic types (str, unicode, int, long, float, bool, None) will be skipped instead of raising a TypeError.

If ensure_ascii is false, all non-ASCII characters are not escaped, and the return value may be a unicode instance. See dump for details.

If check_circular is false, then the circular reference check for container types will be skipped and a circular reference will result in an OverflowError (or worse).

If allow_nan is false, then it will be a ValueError to serialize out of range float values (nan, inf, -inf) in strict compliance of the JSON specification, instead of using the JavaScript equivalents (NaN, Infinity, -Infinity).

If indent is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of 0 will only insert newlines. None is the most compact representation. Since the default item separator is ', ', the output might include trailing whitespace when indent is specified. You can use separators=(',', ': ') to avoid this.

If separators is an (item_separator, dict_separator) tuple then it will be used instead of the default (', ', ': ') separators. (',', ':') is the most compact JSON representation.

encoding is the character encoding for str instances, default is UTF-8.

default(obj) is a function that should return a serializable version of obj or raise TypeError. The default simply raises TypeError.

If sort_keys is true (default: False), then the output of dictionaries will be sorted by key.

To use a custom JSONEncoder subclass (e.g. one that overrides the .default() method to serialize additional types), specify it with the cls kwarg; otherwise JSONEncoder is used.

_dump_to_stream_fn(*args, **kwargs)¶

Serialize obj as a JSON formatted stream to fp (a .write()-supporting file-like object).

If skipkeys is true then dict keys that are not basic types (str, unicode, int, long, float, bool, None) will be skipped instead of raising a TypeError.

If ensure_ascii is true (the default), all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with \uXXXX sequences, and the result is a str instance consisting of ASCII characters only. If ensure_ascii is false, some chunks written to fp may be unicode instances. This usually happens because the input contains unicode strings or the encoding parameter is used. Unless fp.write() explicitly understands unicode (as in codecs.getwriter) this is likely to cause an error.
