kedro.io.JSONLocalDataSet¶

class kedro.io.JSONLocalDataSet(filepath, load_args=None, save_args=None, version=None)[source]¶

Bases: kedro.io.core.AbstractVersionedDataSet

JSONLocalDataSet encodes data as json and saves it to a local file or reads in and decodes an existing json file. The encoding/decoding functionality is provided by Python’s json library.

Example:

from kedro.io import JSONLocalDataSet
my_dict = {
    'a_string': 'Hello, World!',
    'a_list': [1, 2, 3]
}
data_set = JSONLocalDataSet(filepath="test.json")
data_set.save(my_dict)
reloaded = data_set.load()
assert my_dict == reloaded

Attributes

`JSONLocalDataSet.DEFAULT_LOAD_ARGS`
`JSONLocalDataSet.DEFAULT_SAVE_ARGS`

Methods

`JSONLocalDataSet.__init__`(filepath[, …])	Creates a new instance of `JSONLocalDataSet` pointing to a concrete filepath.
`JSONLocalDataSet.exists`()	Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.
`JSONLocalDataSet.from_config`(name, config[, …])	Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.
`JSONLocalDataSet.get_last_load_version`()	Versioned datasets should override this property to return last loaded version
`JSONLocalDataSet.get_last_save_version`()	Versioned datasets should override this property to return last saved version.
`JSONLocalDataSet.load`()	Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.
`JSONLocalDataSet.release`()	Release any cached data.
`JSONLocalDataSet.save`(data)	Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.

DEFAULT_SAVE_ARGS = {'indent': 4}¶

__init__(filepath, load_args=None, save_args=None, version=None)[source]¶

Creates a new instance of JSONLocalDataSet pointing to a concrete filepath.

Parameters:

filepath (str) – path to a local json file.
load_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Arguments passed on to `json.load. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html for details. All defaults are preserved.
save_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Arguments passed on to `json.dump. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html for details. All defaults are preserved.
version (Optional[Version]) – If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

Return type:

None

exists()¶

Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.

Return type:	`bool`
Returns:	Flag indicating whether the output already exists.
Raises:	`DataSetError` – when underlying exists method raises error.

classmethod from_config(name, config, load_version=None, save_version=None)¶

Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.

Parameters:	name (`str`) – Data set name. config (`Dict`[`str`, `Any`]) – Data set config dictionary. load_version (`Optional`[`str`]) – Version string to be used for `load` operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled. save_version (`Optional`[`str`]) – Version string to be used for `save` operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.
Return type:	`AbstractDataSet`
Returns:	An instance of an `AbstractDataSet` subclass.
Raises:	`DataSetError` – When the function fails to create the data set from its config.

get_last_load_version()¶

Versioned datasets should override this property to return last loaded version

Return type:	`Optional`[`str`]

get_last_save_version()¶

Versioned datasets should override this property to return last saved version.

Return type:	`Optional`[`str`]

load()¶

Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.

Return type:	`Any`
Returns:	Data returned by the provided load method.
Raises:	`DataSetError` – When underlying load method raises error.

release()¶

Release any cached data.

Raises:	`DataSetError` – when underlying exists method raises error.
Return type:	`None`

save(data)¶

Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.

Parameters:	data (`Any`) – the value to be saved by provided save method.
Raises:	`DataSetError` – when underlying save method raises error.
Return type:	`None`
