apache_beam.internal.gcp.json_value module

JSON conversion utility functions.

apache_beam.internal.gcp.json_value.get_typed_value_descriptor(obj)[source]

For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.

Converts a basic type into a @type/value dictionary.

Parameters:obj – A basestring, bool, int, or float to be converted.
Returns:A dictionary containing the keys @type and value with the value for the @type of appropriate type.
Raises:TypeError – if the Python object has a type that is not supported.
apache_beam.internal.gcp.json_value.to_json_value(obj, with_type=False)[source]

For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.

Converts Python objects into extra_types.JsonValue objects.

Parameters:
  • obj – Python object to be converted. Can be None.
  • with_type – If true then the basic types (string, int, float, bool) will be wrapped in @type:value dictionaries. Otherwise the straight value is encoded into a JsonValue.
Returns:

A JsonValue object using JsonValue, JsonArray and JsonObject types for the corresponding values, lists, or dictionaries.

Raises:

TypeError – if the Python object contains a type that is not supported.

The types supported are str, bool, list, tuple, dict, and None. The Dataflow API requires JsonValue(s) in many places, and it is quite convenient to be able to specify these hierarchical objects using Python syntax.

apache_beam.internal.gcp.json_value.from_json_value(v)[source]

For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.

Converts extra_types.JsonValue objects into Python objects.

Parameters:vJsonValue object to be converted.
Returns:A Python object structured as values, lists, and dictionaries corresponding to JsonValue, JsonArray and JsonObject types.
Raises:TypeError – if the JsonValue object contains a type that is not supported.

The types supported are str, bool, list, dict, and None. The Dataflow API returns JsonValue(s) in many places and it is quite convenient to be able to convert these hierarchical objects to much simpler Python objects.
