Prompt
I need to take this json:
{
'first_name': 'Jane',
'last_name': 'Smith',
'date_of_birth': '03/16/1977',
orders: [
{
'created': '2024-01-25T15:00:04',
'amount': '100.00'
}
]}
And generate some dataclasses.
date_of_birth needs to be a date.
created is a datetime.
amount is a decimal.
How would I do this using the marshmallow library in python?
I understand that you want to generate dataclasses from the given JSON using the marshmallow library in Python. To achieve this, you can follow the steps below:
- Import the necessary modules:
import marshmallow_dataclass
import marshmallow
from datetime import date
from datetime import datetime
from decimal import Decimal
- Define the dataclasses:
@marshmallow_dataclass.dataclass
class Order:
created: datetime
amount: Decimal
@marshmallow_dataclass.dataclass
class User:
first_name: str
last_name: str
date_of_birth: date
orders: list[Order]
- Use the
load
method from the marshmallow library to convert the JSON data into aUser
object:
json_data = {
'first_name': 'Jane',
'last_name': 'Smith',
'date_of_birth': '03/16/1977',
'orders': [
{
'created': '2024-01-25T15:00:04',
'amount': '100.00'
}
]
}
user = User.Schema().load(json_data)
Please note that load
method will convert the JSON data into a User
object based on the defined dataclasses, taking into account the required data types for each field.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

(2 marks)
Comments:
The solution takes a different approach using marshmallow_dataclass
, which is a valid and often more convenient way to create dataclasses with marshmallow integration. However, it misses some specific requirements like date format specification and decimal field configuration. The @post_load
method isn't necessary with this approach, but the solution doesn't explain why it's not needed.

The provided solution utilizes the marshmallow_dataclass
library to define dataclasses and their corresponding schemas, which simplify the serialization and deserialization of JSON data to and from Python objects. Here's the breakdown of how the solution adheres to the requirements:
- Define two dataclasses, one for the person and one for the order (2 marks)
-
The solution properly defines two dataclasses:
Order
andUser
. Full marks. -
Define two schema classes, one for the person and one for the order (2 marks)
-
By using
@marshmallow_dataclass.dataclass
, the solution implicitly creates schemas for both classes. Full marks. -
Specify the date format for the
date_of_birth
field. (format="%m/%d/%Y") (1 mark) -
The solution does not explicitly specify the date format for the
date_of_birth
field. The default parser might manage to parse the format correctly, but this does not adhere to the instructions to explicitly set the format. No marks. -
The decimal field needs
as_string=True
. (1 mark) -
The solution does not specify the
as_string=True
for theDecimal
field. This is important for ensuring that the decimal amount is serialized back into JSON as a string, which is a common requirement for ensuring the precision and formatting of monetary values. No marks. -
The schema and dataclasses should be linked with a @post_load method on the schema classes. (2 marks)
-
The provided solution does not make use of a
@post_load
method. This method is typically used to customize the deserialization process or to ensure that the data is loaded into a specific class instance correctly. No marks. -
Anything else: (2 marks)
- The code imports necessary libraries and shows a basic understanding of how to deserialize JSON into dataclass instances using
marshmallow_dataclass
andload
function. However, lacking specific configurations for fields and not utilizing key marshmallow capabilities like@post_load
may hinder exact adherence to provided type requirements in a real-world application. Partial marks.

Sure, you can achieve this by creating a data class for the user's information and a data class for the order details. Here's an example solution using marshmallow:
First, you'll need to install the marshmallow library if you haven't already. You can do this by running the command pip install marshmallow
in your terminal.
Then, you can create the following Python code:
from marshmallow import dataclasses
import datetime
@dataclasses.dataclass
class Person:
first_name: str
last_name: str
date_of_birth: datetime.date
orders: list
@dataclasses.dataclass
class Order:
created: datetime.datetime
amount: Decimal
Explanation:
- The first_name
, last_name
, created
, and amount
fields are defined as strings.
- The date_of_birth
field is defined as a datetime.date
object to store the date of birth.
- The orders
field is defined as a list to store the list of orders.
- The Order
class is defined as a data class with the created
and amount
fields.
To deserialize the JSON data and create the dataclasses, you can use the PersonSchema
and OrderSchema
classes like this:
from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from decimal import Decimal
class PersonSchema(Schema):
first_name = fields.Str()
last_name = fields.Str()
date_of_birth = fields.Date()
orders = fields.List(fields.Nested(OrderSchema))
class OrderSchema(Schema):
created = fields.DateTime()
amount = fields.Decimal()
Explanation:
- PersonSchema
and OrderSchema
are subclasses of Schema
that define the fields to deserialize.
- fields.Str()
, fields.List()
, and fields.Nested()
are used to define the types of fields in the JSON data.
- fields.Date()
and fields.DateTime()
are used to deserialize the date_of_birth and created fields.
- fields.Decimal()
is used to deserialize the amount field.
Now, to load the JSON data into a Person
object, you can use the following code:
import json
import datetime
json_data = '{ "first_name": "Jane", "last_name": "Smith", "date_of_birth": "03/16/1977", "orders": [ { "created": "2024-01-25T15:00:04", "amount": "100.00" } ] }'
person_schema = PersonSchema()
person_dict = json.loads(json_data)
person = person_schema.load(person_dict)
person = Person(**person)
Explanation:
- The JSON data is loaded into a dictionary using json.loads()
.
- PersonSchema()
is used to create a new PersonSchema
object.
- person_schema.load()
is used to deserialize the JSON data into a Python dictionary.
- The Person()
class is used to create a new Person
object with the deserialized dictionary.
The result will be a Person
object with the following values:
first_name: 'Jane'
last_name: 'Smith'
date_of_birth: '1977-03-16'
orders: [
{
created: datetime.datetime(2024, 1, 25, 15, 0, 4),
amount: Decimal('100.00')
}
]

The solution covers the basic structure of using dataclasses and marshmallow schemas, but it misses some important details specified in the requirements. It doesn't use the correct date format for date_of_birth
, doesn't set as_string=True
for the decimal field, and doesn't use the @post_load decorator to link the schemas and dataclasses. These omissions affect the functionality and accuracy of the deserialization process. However, the solution does provide a good starting point and includes helpful explanations, which is valuable.
openai/gpt-4-0125-preview says: (7.0) ()
The provided solution contains both strengths and some critical omissions as per the marking scheme. Here's the detailed evaluation:
- Data Classes:
-
The solution defines two data classes,
Person
andOrder
, using the@dataclasses.dataclass
decorator, correctly handling classes as per requirement. (+2 marks) -
Schema Classes:
-
The solution defines two schema classes,
PersonSchema
andOrderSchema
, using marshmallow'sSchema
, which meets the requirement. (+2 marks) -
Date Formatting:
-
The
date_of_birth
in thePersonSchema
is specified usingfields.Date()
, but it does not specify the required date format%m/%d/%Y
. (-1 mark) -
Decimal Field Configuration:
-
The
amount
field inOrderSchema
usesfields.Decimal()
, but crucially omits theas_string=True
attribute that is necessary as per the problem statement. (-1 mark) -
Post-load Method for Linking:
-
The provided solution lacks the
@post_load
method in either thePersonSchema
orOrderSchema
. This method would be required to correctly transform the loaded data into an instance of the data classes (Person
orOrder
). This is a key requirement for using marshmallow effectively with data classes. (-2 marks) -
Additional Comments:
- The explanation of the schema and its fields is accurate, helping understanding the data binding from JSON to Python objects.
- Use of the JSON library and example schema usage to deserialize into objects is properly shown.
- The sample does not fully implement correct types for fields such as
datetime
, and also usage of theDecimal
import was not actually shown within the schema definition which might lead to an error or confusion. (-1 mark)
Given these points, the solution misses a few critical criteria established by the marking scheme, especially the format for date fields, handling decimals as strings, and linking schemas with data classes using @post_load
. The overall implementation aligns partially with basic requirements but lacks completeness in terms of marshmallow-specific functionalities.
Final score:
{
"score": 7
}
To generate dataclasses from the given JSON using the marshmallow library in Python, you can follow these steps:
-
Import the required libraries: Make sure to import the
marshmallow
library and themarshmallow_dataclass
library, which enables using dataclasses with marshmallow. -
Define the dataclass: Create a dataclass called
User
that represents the JSON structure. It should have fields forfirst_name
,last
_name, and the typed fields such as
date_of_birth,
created, and
amount`. -
Define a schema for the dataclass: Create a marshmallow schema called
UserSchema
that inherits frommarshmallow_dataclass.class_schema
and takes theUser
dataclass as an argument. This will automatically generate the fields from theUser
dataclass.
Example code:
import datetime
import decimal
import marshmallow
import marshmallow_dataclass
class User:
first_name = marshmallow_dataclass.field(type=str)
last_name = marshmallow_dataclass.field(type=str)
date_of_birth = marshmallow_dataclass.field(type=datetime.date)
orders = marshmallow_dataclass.field([Order])
class Order:
created = marshmallow_dataclass.field(type=datetime.datetime)
amount = marshmallow_dataclass.field(type=decimal.Decimal)
class UserSchema(marshmallow_dataclass.class_schema):
User
# Load the JSON data
user_data = {
'first_name': 'Jane',
'last_name': 'Smith',
'date_of_birth': '03/16/1977',
'orders': [
{
'created': '2024-01-25T15:00:04',
'amount': '100.00'
}
]
}
user_schema = UserSchema()
user = user_schema.load(user_data)
print(user.date_of_birth)
By following these steps, you can use the marshmallow library to generate dataclasses from the given JSON, ensuring that the typed fields are correctly handled.

It doesn't fully address the specific requirements for date formatting, decimal handling, and linking schemas with dataclasses using @post_load. While it demonstrates a general understanding of using marshmallow with dataclasses, it needs improvements to meet all the specified criteria.
openai/gpt-4-0125-preview says: (4.0) ()
The provided solution attempts to show how to use the marshmallow library to serialize and deserialize JSON data to and from dataclasses in Python. However, there are several mistakes and missing elements in the provided solution which affect its completeness and correctness:
- Definition of Dataclasses (2 marks):
- The solution defines one main dataclass (
User
) and one for orders (Order
), which fits the requirement to have separate dataclasses for the person and the order. -
However, the syntax used to define the fields within the
User
andOrder
classes is incorrect.marshmallow_dataclass.field
is not correctly used (should bemarshmallow.fields
with correct type or direct dataclass annotation). -
Definition of Schema Classes (1/2 marks):
- The solution uses
marshmallow_dataclass.class_schema()
to generate a schema, which is partially correct but incorrectly implemented. The proper usage would involve applyingclass_schema()
as a decorator or as a function directly on the dataclass to generate a schema. -
class UserSchema(marshmallow_dataclass.class_schema): User
is syntactically invalid in Python. It should be something likeUserSchema = marshmallow_dataclass.class_schema(User)
. -
Date Format Specification (0/1 mark):
-
The solution does not specify the date format for
date_of_birth
(format="%m/%d/%Y") as required, which is crucial for correct deserialization of date strings. -
Decimal Field as String (0/1 mark):
-
as_string=True
is not used for the decimal field, which is necessary to ensure it deserializes properly from JSON. -
Linking Schema and Dataclasses with @post_load (0/2 marks):
-
There is no
@post_load
method demonstrated or discussed. This method is essential for converting loaded data into the defined dataclass instances. -
Additional Considerations (1/2 marks):
- The basic idea of using marshmallow with dataclasses is mentioned, but due to the incorrect and incomplete implementation, it loses effectiveness.
- Error handling, actual usage of datetime and decimal conversions are not shown or are incorrect.
Based on this, the score for the provided solution would be:
{
"score": 4
}
This shows that the solution needs significant corrections and additional details to achieve the specified task effectively.
