Core
Here are some central features of LedgerMan that apply to every object / class.
Serialization
LedgerMan uses JCDB for serialization - every object implemented by LedgerMan can be encoded to JSON by calling object.encode()
. To decode objects from JSON strings, call class.decode(string)
on the class you want to be decode an object of.
The JSON format storage used in JCDB works like this:
# create a serializable object (of any kind)
o = Object()
# interact with the object (step is not required but common)
o.key = "value"
o.subObject = Object()
# serialize
print(o.encode())
This prints the following JSON string:
{
"_type": "Object",
"key": "value"
"subObject": {
"_type": "Object"
}
}
You can also export all objects to files object.encodeToFile(fileName)
and import them again using class.decodeFile(fileName)
.
