A Flask extension that gives you utilities to allow your Flask endpoints to process and respond in the BSON format.
You can install the extension with pip like
- ::
pip install flask-bson
The extennsion relies on two pieces of functionality basically. The accept_bson view decorator which parses requests into a usable requests.bson_data dictionary, and bsonify which works a lot like the well loved jsonify -- it turns a dictionary into a valid BSON response.
Here's a full sample implementation:
from flask import Flask, request
from flask_bson import accept_bson, bsonify
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
@accept_bson(require_bson = True)
def echobson():
return bsonify(request.bson_data)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
