classmethod from_dict(dictionary: dict)

Create an object from its dictionary representation.

Parameters:

dictionary (dict) – The dictionary representation.

Return type:

TypeVar(_T, bound= SerialMixin)

Returns:

The reconstructed object.

classmethod from_json(source: str | Path | SupportsRead[str], /)

Create an object from its JSON representation.

Parameters:

source (str | Path | SupportsRead[str]) –

The JSON source. Can be:

• A string containing JSON content.

• A file path or Path object pointing to a JSON file.

• A file-like object with a read() method.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

The dictionary representation of the object.

to_json(sink: str | Path | SupportsWrite[str] | None = None, /, *, overwrite: bool = False, **kwargs: Any)

Create an object’s JSON representation.

Parameters:

• sink (str | Path | SupportsWrite[str] | None) –

  The JSON sink. Can be:

  • A file path or Path object pointing to a location where to write the JSON content.

  • A file-like object with a write() method.
