SQLALchemy JSONField implementation for storing dicts at SQL independently from JSON type support.
SqlAlchemy provides JSON field support for several database types (PostgreSQL and MySQL for now) and semi-working dict <-> JSON <-> VARCHAR example, but... In real scenarios we have tests on sqlite, production on MySQL/MariaDB/Percona/PostgreSQL and some of them (modern Oracle MySQL & PostgreSQL) support JSON, some of them (SQLite, Percona & MariaDB) requires data conversion to Text (not VARCHAR).
As addition, we have different levels of Unicode support on database and connector side, so we may be interested to switch JSON encoding between deployments.
.. note:: SQLite 3.9 supports JSON natively and SQLAlchemy can handle this.
SQLALchemy JSONField has API with suport for automatic switch between native JSON and JSON encoded data, and encoding to JSON string can be enforced.
Direct usage with MariaDB (example extracted from functional tests):
.. code-block:: python
import sqlalchemy_jsonfield
class ExampleTable(Base): tablename = table_name id = sqlalchemy.Column(sqlalchemy.Integer, primary_key=True) row_name = sqlalchemy.Column( sqlalchemy.Unicode(64), unique=True, ) json_record = sqlalchemy.Column( sqlalchemy_jsonfield.JSONField( # MariaDB does not support JSON for now enforce_string=True, # MariaDB connector requires additional parameters for correct UTF-8 enforce_unicode=False ), nullable=False )
Usage with alternate JSON library:
.. code-block:: python
import sqlalchemy_jsonfield import ujson
class ExampleTable(Base): tablename = table_name id = sqlalchemy.Column(sqlalchemy.Integer, primary_key=True) row_name = sqlalchemy.Column( sqlalchemy.Unicode(64), unique=True, ) json_record = sqlalchemy.Column( sqlalchemy_jsonfield.JSONField( enforce_string=True, enforce_unicode=False, json=ujson, # Use ujson instead of standard json. ), nullable=False )
Usage on PostgreSQL/Oracle MySQL(modern version)/SQLite(testing) environments allows to set enforce_string=False
and use native JSON fields.
The main test mechanism for the package sqlalchemy_jsonfield
is using tox
.
Available environments can be collected via tox -l
