Fail to convert "all_techniques" to json file

[uestc-toy]

I want to convert "all_techniques" to JSON file by "json.dump" function.howerver, it reports errors "TypeError: Object of type AttackPattern is not JSON serializable"

lift = attack_client() all_techniques = lift.get_techniques() all_techniques = lift.remove_revoked(all_techniques)

Hello @uestc-toy !

That is not an issue with the library. The output of those functions is correct. With get_techniques() and other functions that returns objects from ATT&CK TAXII, they are STIX objects. Therefore, you cannot simply use json.dumps() against the list.

You first have to serialize each STIX object in the list that you get back, then use json.loads to convert each object to a dictionary and then take the list of dictionaries and then run json.dumos(). Finally, you can export that to a JSON file.

This is what it would look like

The code I used:

from attackcti import attack_client
lift = attack_client()
all_techniques = lift.get_techniques()

import json
all_techniques_serialized = list(map(lambda x: json.loads(x.serialize()), all_techniques))
all_techniques_json = json.dumps(all_techniques_serialized)

I will close this issue since that would get you right to export the data to a json file. Feel free to re-open this issue.

Thank you for testing our library!
