JSON Codec

Codec for serialising and de-serialising JSON data. Supports both array and objects for mapping into resources or collections of resources.

The JSON codec uses the simplejson module if available and falls back to the json module included in the Python standard library.

Methods

Customising Encoding

Serialisation of Odin resources is handled by a customised json.Encoder. Additional data types can be appended to the odin.codecs.json_codec.JSON_TYPES dictionary.

Example usage

Loading a resource from a file:

from odin.codecs import json_codec

with open('my_resource.json') as f:
    resource = json_codec.load(f)
