Development Notes¶
This a a fairly free form document exploring the directions in which early development could go. It is also a repository for ideas that may or may not be used.
This section may not be needed once the code gets more stable. Right now this a way to document these ideas so that they don’t get lost as we make pragmatic decisions.
Munch classes for epJSON¶
From a presentation. at the buildsim conference in 2017
This opens up the possibilty of having three classes:
- EPMunch -> general
Root
E+ Object type
- EPObject -> for items got from EPJ.epobjects()
E+ Name
Fields
EPListinObject -> for lists in EPObject
The class heirarchy would be:
Munch -> EPMunch -> EPObject
EPMunch -> EPListinObject
Right now we have only EPMunch
for all of the above.
The initial benifit in having the three classes is that is eases the __repr__
(and __str__
) code. Right now there are too many if statements. The same for __setattr__
and __setitem__
. It is not a critical change, since everything works right now.
