sob.model

This module defines the building blocks of an sob based data model.

Model

Model()

Bases: sob.abc.Model

This class serves as a base class for sob.Object, sob.Dictionary, and sob.Array. This class should not be instantiated or sub-classed directly.

def __init__(self) -> None:
    self._instance_meta: abc.Meta | None = None
    self._instance_hooks: abc.Hooks | None = None
    self._url: str | None = None
    self._pointer: str | None = None

Array

Array(
    items: (
        sob.abc.Array
        | collections.abc.Iterable[
            sob.abc.MarshallableTypes
        ]

    ) = None,

Bases: sob.model.Model, sob.abc.Array, sob.abc.Model

This class may either be instantiated directly or serve as a base class for defining typed JSON arrays (python lists).

Typing can be set at the instance level by providing the keyword argument item_types when initializing an instance of sob.Array, or by assigning item types to the class or instance metadata.

This class may either be instantiated directly or serve as a base class for defining JSON objects for which there is not a predetermined set of properties/attributes, but for which there may be a pre-determined set of permitted value types.

Typing can be set at the instance level by providing the keyword argument value_types when initializing an instance of sob.Dictionary, or by assigning value types to the class or instance metadata.

Parameters:

• data (sob.abc.MarshallableTypes) –

• types (collections.abc.Iterable[type | sob.abc.Property] | sob.abc.Types | None, default: None ) –

• value_types (collections.abc.Iterable[type | sob.abc.Property] | sob.abc.Types | None, default: None ) –

  Property definitions or type(s) associated with this objects' dictionary values. This is typically only used for recursive calls, so not typically provided explicitly by client applications.

• item_types (collections.abc.Iterable[type | sob.abc.Property] | sob.abc.Types | None, default: None ) –

  Property definitions or type(s) associated with this array's items. This is typically only used for recursive calls, so not typically provided explicitly by client applications.
