library1.12.0pypypi✓ verified 25d ago

This library provides core serialization and deserialization capabilities for plain text (`text/plain`) within the Microsoft Kiota ecosystem for Python. It allows Kiota-generated API clients to handle text-based responses and requests. The current version is 1.10.1, and releases are frequent, synchronized with the broader Kiota project across multiple languages.

TextSerializationWriterFactory

✓ from kiota_serialization_text.text_serialization_writer import TextSerializationWriterFactory

✗ from kiota_serialization_text import TextSerializationWriterFactory

This quickstart demonstrates how to use `TextSerializationWriterFactory` to serialize a string to bytes and `TextParseNodeFactory` to deserialize those bytes back into a string, explicitly handling the 'text/plain' content type.

from microsoft_kiota_serialization_text import TextParseNodeFactory, TextSerializationWriterFactory # Instantiate the factory for text serialization writer_factory = TextSerializationWriterFactory() writer = writer_factory.get_serialization_writer('text/plain') # Serialize a string value writer.write_str_value(None, 'Hello from Kiota!') serialized_content = writer.get_serialized_content() # Returns bytes print(f"Serialized (bytes): {serialized_content}") print(f"Serialized (str): {serialized_content.decode('utf-8')}") # Instantiate the factory for text deserialization parser_factory = TextParseNodeFactory() parser = parser_factory.get_parse_node('text/plain', serialized_content) # Deserialize the string value deserialized_value = parser.get_string_value() print(f"Deserialized: {deserialized_value}")

Debug

Known issues

breakingSupport for Python 3.9 was dropped starting from version 1.10.0. Ensure your environment uses Python 3.10 or higher.

fix

Upgrade your Python environment to version 3.10 or newer.

affects: >=1.10.0

gotchaThis library specifically handles `text/plain` content. Attempting to use its factories with other content types (e.g., `application/json`, `application/xml`) will result in errors or incorrect parsing, as it lacks the necessary logic for those formats.

fix

Use the appropriate Kiota serialization library for the content type you are handling (e.g., `microsoft-kiota-serialization-json` for JSON).

affects: All

gotchaFor full integration within the Kiota request adapter pipeline, you must register `TextSerializationWriterFactory` and `TextParseNodeFactory` with `SerializationWriterFactoryRegistry.default_instance` and `ParseNodeFactoryRegistry.default_instance` respectively. Without registration, the default Kiota request adapter might not automatically pick up these factories for 'text/plain' content.

fix

Register factories using `SerializationWriterFactoryRegistry.default_instance.register_content_type('text/plain', TextSerializationWriterFactory)` and `ParseNodeFactoryRegistry.default_instance.register_content_type('text/plain', TextParseNodeFactory)`.

affects: All

breakingThe library 'microsoft-kiota-serialization-text' was not found. Ensure it is installed in your environment before attempting to import or use it.

fix

Install the library using your package manager, typically `pip install microsoft-kiota-serialization-text`.
