Configuration
To configure a serializer for your application, you need to choose a backend and then specify any necessary configuration values for it. The following backends are provided out of the box:
Other backends may be provided by other components.
Once you’ve selected a backend, see its specific documentation to find out what configuration values you need to provide, if any. Configuration values are expressed as constructor arguments for the backend class:
components:
serialization:
backend: json
This configuration publishes a Serializer
resource named
default
using the JSON backend. The same can be done directly in Python code as
follows:
class ApplicationComponent(ContainerComponent):
async def start(ctx: Context) -> None:
self.add_component('serialization', backend='json')
await super().start()
Multiple serializers
If you need to configure multiple serializers, you will need to use multiple instances of the serialization component:
components:
serialization:
backend: cbor
serialization2:
type: serialization
backend: msgpack
resource_name: msgpack
The above configuration creates two serializer resources, available under 6 different combinations:
Serializer
/default
CustomizableSerializer
/default
CBORSerializer
/default
Serializer
/msgpack
CustomizableSerializer
/msgpack
MsgpackSerializer
/msgpack
