TagBytes

This class provides a mechanism for handling byte strings within a JSON tagging system. It identifies byte objects, encodes them into Base64-encoded ASCII strings for JSON serialization, and decodes them back into their original byte format during deserialization.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
key	string = b	The unique identifier string used to tag base64-encoded byte data within a JSON structure.

Methods

---

check()

@classmethod
def check(
    value: t.Any
) - > bool

Determines if the provided value is a bytes object that can be processed by this tag.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	t.Any	The input value to verify for compatibility with byte operations

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value is of type bytes, False otherwise

---

to_json()

@classmethod
def to_json(
    value: t.Any
) - > t.Any

Encodes a bytes object into a base64-encoded ASCII string suitable for JSON serialization.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	t.Any	The raw bytes object to be encoded for JSON storage

Returns

Type	Description
t.Any	An ASCII string representing the base64-encoded version of the input bytes

---

to_python()

@classmethod
def to_python(
    value: t.Any
) - > t.Any

Decodes a base64-encoded string back into its original bytes representation.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	t.Any	The base64-encoded string or bytes to be converted back to a Python bytes object

Returns

Type	Description
t.Any	The decoded bytes object recovered from the base64 string
