"""Represents JSON-C data in an easy to access object format.
To access the members of a JSON structure which looks like this:
{
"data": {
"totalItems": 800,
"items": [
{
"content": {
"1": "rtsp://v5.cache3.c.youtube.com/CiILENy.../0/0/0/video.3gp"
},
"viewCount": 220101,
"commentCount": 22,
"favoriteCount": 201
}
]
},
"apiVersion": "2.0"
}
You would do the following:
x = gdata.core.parse_json(the_above_string)
# Gives you 800
x.data.total_items
# Should be 22
x.data.items[0].comment_count
# The apiVersion is '2.0'
x.api_version
To create a Jsonc object which would produce the above JSON, you would do:
gdata.core.Jsonc(
api_version='2.0',
data=gdata.core.Jsonc(
total_items=800,
items=[
gdata.core.Jsonc(
view_count=220101,
comment_count=22,
favorite_count=201,
content={
'1': ('rtsp://v5.cache3.c.youtube.com'
'/CiILENy.../0/0/0/video.3gp')})]))
or
x = gdata.core.Jsonc()
x.api_version = '2.0'
x.data = gdata.core.Jsonc()
x.data.total_items = 800
x.data.items = []
# etc.
How it works:
The JSON-C data is stored in an internal dictionary (._dict) and the
getattr, setattr, and delattr methods rewrite the name which you provide
to mirror the expected format in JSON-C. (For more details on name
conversion see _to_jsonc_name.) You may also access members using
getitem, setitem, delitem as you would for a dictionary. For example
x.data.total_items is equivalent to x['data']['totalItems']
(Not all dict methods are supported so if you need something other than
the item operations, then you will want to use the ._dict member).
You may need to use getitem or the _dict member to access certain
properties in cases where the JSON-C syntax does not map neatly to Python
objects. For example the YouTube Video feed has some JSON like this:
"content": {"1": "rtsp://v5.cache3.c.youtube.com..."...}
You cannot do x.content.1 in Python, so you would use the getitem as
follows:
x.content['1']
or you could use the _dict member as follows:
x.content._dict['1']
If you need to create a new object with such a mapping you could use.
x.content = gdata.core.Jsonc(_dict={'1': 'rtsp://cache3.c.youtube.com...'})
