gluonts.core.serde.encode(v: Any) → Any[source]¶

Transforms a value v as a serializable intermediate representation (for example, named tuples are encoded as dictionaries). The intermediate representation is then recursively traversed and serialized either as Python code or as JSON string.

This function is decorated with singledispatch() and can be specialized by clients for families of types that are not supported by the basic implementation (explained below).

Examples

The conversion logic implemented by the basic implementation is used as a fallback and is best explained by a series of examples.

Lists (as lists).

>>> encode([1, 2.0, '3'])
[1, 2.0, '3']

Dictionaries (as dictionaries).

>>> encode({'a': 1, 'b': 2.0, 'c': '3'})
{'a': 1, 'b': 2.0, 'c': '3'}

Named tuples (as dictionaries with a '__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'> member).

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> from typing import NamedTuple
>>> class ComplexNumber(NamedTuple):
...     x: float = 0.0
...     y: float = 0.0
>>> pprint(encode(ComplexNumber(4.0, 2.0)))
{'__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'>,
 'class': 'gluonts.core.serde._base.ComplexNumber',
 'kwargs': {'x': 4.0, 'y': 2.0}}

Classes with a validated() initializer (as dictionaries with a '__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'> member).

>>> from gluonts.core.component import validated
>>> class ComplexNumber:
...     @validated()
...     def __init__(self, x: float = 0.0, y: float = 0.0) -> None:
...         self.x = x
...         self.y = y
>>> pprint(encode(ComplexNumber(4.0, 2.0)))
{'__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'>,
 'args': [],
 'class': 'gluonts.core.serde._base.ComplexNumber',
 'kwargs': {'x': 4.0, 'y': 2.0}}

Classes with a __getnewargs_ex__ magic method (as dictionaries with a '__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'> member).

>>> from gluonts.core.component import validated
>>> class ComplexNumber:
...     def __init__(self, x: float = 0.0, y: float = 0.0) -> None:
...         self.x = x
...         self.y = y
...     def __getnewargs_ex__(self):
...         return [], {'x': self.x, 'y': self.y}
>>> pprint(encode(ComplexNumber(4.0, 2.0)))
{'__kind__': <Kind.Instance: 'instance'>,
 'args': [],
 'class': 'gluonts.core.serde._base.ComplexNumber',
 'kwargs': {'x': 4.0, 'y': 2.0}}

Types (as dictionaries with a '__kind__': <Kind.Type: 'type'> member).

>>> encode(ComplexNumber)
{'__kind__': <Kind.Type: 'type'>,
 'class': 'gluonts.core.serde._base.ComplexNumber'}
