bottle-rest-serializer

Simple serializers for REST APIs built using BottlePy

Default Python serializers don't work when your dicts/objects contains datetime or Decimal instances. This plugin is meant to fix this "issue".

• datetime instances will be converted to ISO8601 strings.
• Decimal instances will be converted to float.

Installation

bottle-rest-serializer is available from PyPI as bottle-rest-serializer:

pip install bottle-rest-serializer

JSON Serializer:

from datetime import datetime
from decimal import Decimal

from bottle import Bottle, run
from truckpad.bottle.rest_serializer import FlexibleJSONPlugin

app = Bottle()
app.install(FlexibleJSONPlugin())

@app.get('/')
def index():
    return {
        'now': datetime.now(),
        'float_number': Decimal(123.4567),
        'int_number': Decimal(4567)
    }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run(app)

XML Serializer:

To be developed in the future :P
