cement.ext.ext_json

Cement json extension module.

class cement.ext.ext_json.JsonConfigHandler(*args, **kw)

Bases: ConfigParserConfigHandler

This class implements the Config Handler interface, and provides the same functionality of ConfigParserConfigHandler but with JSON configuration files.

class Meta

Bases: object

Handler meta-data.

json_module = 'json'

Backend JSON library module to use (json, ujson).

_parse_file(file_path)

Parse JSON configuration file settings from file_path, overwriting existing config settings. If the file does not exist, returns False.

Parameters:

• file_path (str) – The file system path to the JSON configuration

• file. –

Returns:

bool

_setup(app)

Called during application initialization and must setup the handler object making it ready for the framework or the application to make further calls to it.

Parameters:

app (instance) – The application object.

class cement.ext.ext_json.JsonOutputHandler(*args, **kw)

Bases: OutputHandler

This class implements the Output Handler interface. It provides JSON output from a data dictionary using the json module of the standard library. Please see the developer documentation on Output Handling.

This handler forces Cement to suppress console output until app.render is called (keeping the output pure JSON). If troubleshooting issues, you will need to pass the --debug option in order to unsuppress output and see what’s happening.
