A Python library for serializing and deserializing object trees to JSON-compatable values (dicts, lists, strings, ints, floats, bools).
The recommended way to install structpack is with pip:
pip install structpack
structpack
is designed to be a base class (msg
) that you inherit from and add properties to (bool
, int
, float
, string
, list
, and dict
).
The msg
class adds methods pack
and load
which convert your object to and from native types, respectively.
The following is a trivial example of how to make a Point
type using structpack
import structpack
class Point(structpack.msg):
x = structpack.float
y = structpack.float
z = structpack.float
>>> p1 = Point(1., 2., 3.)
>>> data = p1.pack()
>>> print data
(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
>>> p2 = Point.load(data)
>>> print p2
<__main__.Point object at 0x0000000001EDA390>
>>> print p2.x, p2.y, p2.z
1.0 2.0 3.0
