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?
To generate dataclasses and corresponding Marshmallow schemas using marshmallow_dataclass
for the JSON provided:
import datetime
from marshmallow_dataclass import dataclass, field_for_schema
# Modify your JSON slightly to be a data structure
data = {
'first_name': 'Jane',
'last_name': 'Smith',
'date_of_birth': '03/16/1977',
'orders': [
{
'created': '2024-01-25T15:00:04',
'amount': '100.00'
}
]
}
# Define the dataclasses
@dataclass
class Order:
created: datetime.datetime
amount: float
@dataclass
class Person:
first_name: str
last_name: str
date_of_birth: datetime.date
orders: List[Order]
# Generate Marshmallow schemas
from marshmallow import fields
from marshmallow_dataclass import field_from_dataclass
OrderSchema = field_from_dataclass(Order, field_fallback=fields.FIELD_LOADER)
PersonSchema = field_from_dataclass(Person, field_fallback=fields.FIELD_LOADER)
# The schema for Orders as a List is automatically handled by Marshmallow
# There's no need to specify the type in PersonSchema since it is generated for you.
# Example usage
example_person = Person(
first_name="Jane",
last_name="Smith",
date_of_birth=datetime.date(1977, 3, 16),
orders=[
Order(
created=datetime.datetime(2024, 1, 25, 15, 0, 0),
amount=100.0
)
],
)
serialized_person = PersonSchema().dump(example_person)
print(serialized_person)
# Outputs: {"first_name": "Jane", "last_name": "Smith", "date_of_birth": "1977-03-16", "orders": [{"created": "2024-01-25T15:00:00", "amount": 100.0}]}
Please ensure you have marshmallow
and marshmallow-dataclass
installed in your environment for this example to work:
pip install marshmallow marshmallow marshmallow-dataclass
Please note that the code uses datetime.date
for the date values, which lacks time zone support. If you need time zone awareness, use datetime.datetime
instead:
# Replace datetime.date with datetime.datetime in the code snippets
Remember to adjust the date_of_birth
field value according to your specific scenario.

Comments:
The solution provides a good starting point using marshmallow_dataclass
, which simplifies the process of creating schemas from dataclasses. However, it misses some key requirements from the marking scheme. The date format for date_of_birth
is not specified, the amount
field is not set as a string, and there's no explicit @post_load
method linking the schemas and dataclasses. These aspects could be improved to better meet the given requirements.

The provided solution attempts to use the marshmallow_dataclass to create dataclasses and corresponding schemas from a given JSON. I will evaluate it based on the criteria given in the marking scheme:
- Defining Two Dataclasses:
- The solution has defined two dataclasses,
Order
andPerson
, which matches the requirement of the marking scheme. Both dataclasses correctly use the@dataclass
decorator. -
Score: 2/2
-
Defining Two Schema Classes:
- While the solution tries to use automatic schema generation from dataclasses using
marshmallow_dataclass
, it does not explicitly define two schema classes in the conventional sense (e.g., classes derived frommarshmallow.Schema
). The use offield_from_dataclass
is an attempt to simplify schema generation but does not meet the requirement fully as it lacks custom schema definitions. -
Score: 1/2
-
Specify Date Format for
date_of_birth
: - The solution did not specify the date format ("%m/%d/%Y") for the
date_of_birth
field in the schema definition. This is a missing requirement in the provided solution. -
Score: 0/1
-
Decimal Field
as_string=True
: - The solution uses the wrong type for the
amount
field by defining it as afloat
rather than aDecimal
. Furthermore, it did not specifyas_string=True
to ensure the amount is handled as a string in serialized data, which is required to handle monetary values suitably in JSON. -
Score: 0/1
-
Linking Schema and Dataclasses with @post_load:
- The solution lacks any
@post_load
method to facilitate the creation of dataclass instances from loaded data, which is crucial for the integration of dataclasses with marshmallow schemas. -
Score: 0/2
-
Other Considerations:
- There is a proper handling of date and datetime fields in the instantiation (
example_person
), although the example is static and should rather demonstrate handling these conversions from strings per the JSON input. - The solution handles the list of orders correctly in the
Person
dataclass. - Score: 1.5/2
Overall Evaluation: The solution misses critical components of the task like specifying data formats correctly in schemas, utilizing correct types for serialization, and defining proper schema classes and loading mechanisms. These are crucial for the task at hand, especially in data conversion and ensuring data integrity.

To generate dataclasses from your provided JSON using the Marshmallow library in Python, you can follow these steps:
- First, install the Marshmallow library if you haven't already:
shell
pip install marshmallow
- Create a Python script and import necessary libraries for dataclasses and marshmallow:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime, date
from decimal import Decimal
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, post_load
@dataclass
class Person:
first_name: str
last_name: str
date_of_birth: date
orders: list
class PersonSchema(Schema):
first_name = fields.Str()
last_name = fields.Str()
date_of_birth = fields.Date()
orders = fields.Nested(OrderSchema, many=True)
class OrderSchema(Schema):
created = fields.DateTime()
amount = fields.Decimal(default_precision=2)
@post_load
def make_person(self, data, kwargs):
return Person(data)
# Code to handle your JSON
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_data = person_schema.load(json_data)
person = person_schema.make_person(person_data)
print(person) # The Person dataclass instance
```
In this code, Person
is a dataclass that represents your JSON structure, with date_of_birth
as a native Python date
type, created
as a datetime
, and amount
as a Decimal
. PersonSchema
and OrderSchema
are Marshmallow schemas that help convert your JSON to an actual dataclass instance. The post_load
function is a Marshmallow feature that allows you to transform the result dict into an actual dataclass instance.
Replace the JSON example (json_data
) in the provided code with your actual JSON content, and this will generate the Person
dataclass instance modeled after your JSON data.
For reference on using Marshmallow with dataclasses, you might find this tutorial helpful: Marshmallow DataClass - Course Report. Additionally, official Marshmallow resources like their quickstart documentation and the fields section will help you get acquainted with the library.

Evaluation of the Solution:
-
Dataclasses for Person and Order: The solution correctly defines a dataclass for the
Person
. However, anOrder
dataclass is missing; only a schema is provided (1/2 marks). -
Schema Classes: There are schema classes provided for both
Person
andOrder
, appropriately linked (2/2 marks). -
Specifying Date Format for
date_of_birth
: The solution does not specify the format for the date field, which is important for correctly parsing the date string from JSON (0/1 mark). -
Decimal Field Specification with
as_string=True
: The solution mentions usingDecimal
but does not use theas_string=True
for theamount
field which resists converting decimal values directly into a string when dumping objects back to JSON (0/1 mark). -
Post-Load Method Linking Schema and Dataclasses: The method
make_person
uses thepost_load
decorator function which returns aPerson
instance from the schema. However, it is not completely adequate since it doesn’t account for converting orders, and seems like there are linking issues with undefinedOrderSchema
insidePersonSchema
before its definition (1/2 marks). -
Additional Insights: The solution imports needed libraries and shows a good initial step towards deserialization of JSON into Python objects using Marshmallow. It also places an effort to outline an example flow using the marshmallow library. However, there is a critical logical error with the nesting of
OrderSchema
inPersonSchema
asOrderSchema
is referenced before it is defined, which will result in a runtime error. Also, handling of order's datetime and decimal types are not entirely adequate (1/2 marks).
Final Score:
{
"score": 5
}
The solution has covered some required elements partially, but it has crucial misses on key aspects like dataclass and schema configurations, missing format specifications, and it contains a critical logical flaw.

I'll evaluate the solution based on the provided marking scheme:
-
The solution defines two dataclasses: Person and Order (implicitly through OrderSchema). (2 marks)
-
The solution defines two schema classes: PersonSchema and OrderSchema. (2 marks)
-
The solution does not specify the date format for the
date_of_birth
field. It should have usedfields.Date(format="%m/%d/%Y")
. (0 marks) -
The decimal field does not have
as_string=True
. It should have beenfields.Decimal(as_string=True, default_precision=2)
. (0 marks) -
The schema and dataclasses are linked with a @post_load method, but only for the PersonSchema. It's missing for OrderSchema. (1 mark)
-
Additional observations:
- The solution imports necessary libraries.
- It provides an example of how to use the schema to load data.
- It mentions additional resources for learning. (2 marks)
Here's the breakdown of marks:
{
"Dataclasses definition": 2,
"Schema classes definition": 2,
"Date format specification": 0,
"Decimal field configuration": 0,
"Schema and dataclass linking": 1,
"Additional aspects": 2
}
Final score:
{
"scores": [2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 2],
"total_score": 7
}
The solution covers the basic structure well but misses some important details in the field configurations. It also lacks the Order dataclass and the @post_load method for OrderSchema. Despite these omissions, it provides a good starting point and includes helpful additional information.
To define dataclasses based on the given JSON structure using the marshmallow
library in Python, you can follow these steps:
First, you'll need to import the necessary modules:
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, pydantic
import datetime
from dateutil.parser import parse
from decimal import Decimal
Then, you can define a base schema to handle the common fields:
class BaseSchema(pydantic.BaseModel):
first_name: str
last_name: str
date_of_birth: datetime.datetime
amount: Decimal
Now, define a schema for the orders
nested array:
class OrderSchema(pydantic.BaseModel):
created: datetime.datetime
amount: Decimal
class OrderSchemaOmarshmallow(Schema):
created = fields.DateTime(data_key='created')
amount = fields.Decimal(data_key='amount', as_decimal=Decimal)
OrderSchemaOmarshmallow.model = OrderSchema
Lastly, define the main schema that encapsulates the JSON structure:
class MainSchemaOmarshmallow(Schema):
first_name = fields.Str()
last_name = fields.Str()
date_of_birth = fields.DateTime(data_key='date_of_birth', deserialize_from='date_of_birth',
validate=lambda value: parse(value) if value else None) # Converts from string to datetime
orders = fields.Nested(OrderSchemaOmarshmallow, many=True)
MainSchemaOmarshmallow.model = BaseSchema
To see it in action, you can deserialize the JSON into MainSchemaOmarshmallow.model
:
input_json = {
'first_name': 'Jane',
'last_name': 'Smith',
'date_of_birth': '03/16/1977',
'orders': [
{
'created': '2024-01-25T15:00:04',
'amount': '100.00'
}
]
}
MainSchemaOmarshmallow().load(input_json) # Deserialize JSON into the data classes
This will yield an instance of BaseSchema
with the fields converted to datetime.datetime
and Decimal
as specified in your question. Remember to install the required dependencies such as marshmallow
and pydantic
.

anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet says: (4.0) (1.10¢)
I'll evaluate the solution based on the provided marking scheme:
-
The solution defines two dataclasses (BaseSchema and OrderSchema), but they are Pydantic models, not standard Python dataclasses. (1 mark out of 2)
-
The solution defines two schema classes (OrderSchemaOmarshmallow and MainSchemaOmarshmallow) using marshmallow. (2 marks)
-
The solution doesn't specify the date format for the
date_of_birth
field as requested (format="%m/%d/%Y"). Instead, it uses a custom validation function. (0 marks) -
The decimal field in OrderSchemaOmarshmallow uses
as_decimal=Decimal
instead ofas_string=True
. (0 marks) -
The solution doesn't use @post_load methods to link schemas and dataclasses. It attempts to link them by setting a 'model' attribute, which is not a standard marshmallow approach. (0 marks)
-
Additional points:
- The solution imports pydantic, which wasn't mentioned in the problem statement.
- It uses dateutil.parser.parse, which wasn't specified.
- The solution attempts to combine Pydantic and marshmallow, which may lead to confusion.
(1 mark out of 2)
Here's the breakdown of marks:
{
"dataclasses": 1,
"schema classes": 2,
"date format": 0,
"decimal field": 0,
"post_load": 0,

}
Final score:
{
"scores": [1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1],
"total_score": 4
}
The solution demonstrates some understanding of the problem but doesn't fully meet the requirements specified in the marking scheme. It mixes Pydantic and marshmallow, which wasn't asked for, and misses some key requirements like the specific date format and the use of @post_load decorators. The approach to linking schemas and models is non-standard for marshmallow. Overall, while the solution shows an attempt to solve the problem, it needs significant improvements to fully meet the given criteria.
openai/gpt-4-0125-preview says: (2.0) ()
The solution provided attempts to integrate the use of marshmallow
library for serializing and deserializing the given JSON structure. Let's evaluate the solution based on the criteria provided:
- Defining dataclasses:
- The solution does not use Python's standard
dataclasses
module, but rather defines schemas usingpydantic.BaseModel
. -
Consequently, 0 marks are awarded for not defining dataclasses as required.
-
Defining schema classes:
- The solution does define schema classes,
OrderSchemaOmarshmallow
andMainSchemaOmarshmallow
, usingmarshmallow
. -
Since it defines schemas according to half the requirement (mixing
pydantic
), 1 mark is awarded. -
Date format specification:
- The date format
"date_of_birth"
is incorrectly handled as adatetime
object instead of adate
object, and the format is not explicitly set to%m/%d/%Y
. -
0 marks for not specifying the correct format as required.
-
Decimal field with
as_string=True
: - The decimal field handling is via
as_decimal=Decimal
which doesn't meet the requirement of handling the field as a string during serialization (as_string=True
is ignored). -
0 marks since the requirement specifically needs handling
Decimal
as a string. -
Linking schemas with dataclasses via @post_load:
- There is no use of the
@post_load
decorator in anySchema
, necessary to bind schemas with dataclass instantiation. -
0 marks for failing to use the
@post_load
method. -
Additional considerations:
- Mixing up of
pydantic
withmarshmallow
displays confusion in the use-case for each library. - The solution does try to handle nested relationships, which is relevant.
- Some marks can be awarded for the attempt to structure data handling, though incorrectly modeled.
- 1 mark for handling nested items and deserialization approach.
Total assessed score:
{
"score": 2
}
The solution needs substantial revision to correctly use the dataclasses
module, properly utilize the marshmallow's core features including @post_load
, correct schema field specifications, and adherence to correct data types as defined in the problem statement.
