This is a Python package that includes: ModelSerializer and DirectoryTreeBuilder. The package is designed to provide serialization and deserialization capabilities for Python objects, as well as the ability to create a tree structure representing the directory and file hierarchy of a specified directory.
The ModelSerializer class is used to serialize Python objects into JSON format and deserialize JSON strings back into Python objects. It provides the following methods:
__init__(self, model=None)where model: The model object to serialize.
[1.A] Initialize the ModelSerializer with a model object.
to_json(self, model=None)[1.B] Serialize the model object to JSON.
where model: (optional) If provided, [2.A] serialize the specified model object, otherwise, [2.B] use the object provided during initialization.
serialize_model(self, obj)where obj: The object to be serialized.
[3] Recursively serialize a Python object into a JSON-serializable format.
from_json(json_str)where json_str: The JSON string to deserialize.
[4] Deserialize a JSON string into a Python object.
The DirectoryTreeBuilder class is used to create a tree structure that represents the directory and file hierarchy of a specified directory. It provides the following methods:
__init__(self, root_path)where root_path: The path to the root directory to build the tree from.
[1] Initialize the DirectoryTreeBuilder with a root directory path.
build_tree(self)Returns: A dictionary representing the directory and file hierarchy.
[2] Recursively construct a tree structure for the specified directory.
to_json(self)Returns: JSON representation of the directory tree.
[3] Serialize the directory tree to JSON format.
Here's an example of how to use these classes:
from model_serializer import ModelSerializer
from directory_tree_builder import DirectoryTreeBuilder
# Example for ModelSerializer
data = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
serializer = ModelSerializer(data)
json_data = serializer.to_json()
# Example for DirectoryTreeBuilder
root_directory = '/path/to/root/directory'
tree_builder = DirectoryTreeBuilder(root_directory)
directory_tree_json = tree_builder.to_json()To install this package from PyPI, you can use pip:
