Python library for zbg encoding.
>>> pip install zbg
Please see the ZBG standard for details on what objects are supported. The short version is you may serialize anything consisting of only:
- Lists
- Dictionaries
- Arbitrary binary
In this particular implementation, to be correctly interpreted, the corresponding python entities should be compatible with:
- Mutable sequence (see containers.abc.MutableSequence)
- Mapping (see containers.abc.Mapping)
- Bytes-like objects (support the buffer protocol)
dump(obj): serializes the entire obj. Object must be as described above. Returns bytes.
dumpf(obj, f): Serializes the obj to a standalone file. f is the open file handle to output to. dumpf will not call close(). f should be opened with mode 'w+b'.
load(zbg): Loads a zbg-serialized bytes-like object into memory. Returns an object corresponding to whatever was contained within zbg.
loadf(f): Loads a standalone zbg-serialized file from f. Returns an object corresponding to whatever was contained within zbg. f should be opened with mode 'rb' and will not be closed by the load.
