Serialize MongoDB documents to native Python datatypes that can then be easily rendered into JSON, XML or other content types.

I am aiming to make this an opensource project and hence looking for collaborators for improvements and feedback. You can raise a PR or add issues after which we can work together to resolve it.

I started this for serializing MongoDB documents as part of one of my projects. However, as it progressed I had an impetus to move this as an independent Open Source work that can be leveraged by others.

The sole intention is to have a learning experience along with knowledge sharing plus community help.

• ListField with nested composite fields returns list with None when max_depth=0.
• Add support for document linking (ReferenceField?).
• Memory profiling.
• Concurrency.
• Nested field exclusion.

Unittests are written within py-mongo-serializer/tests directory. You can run tests using docker as given below.

cd py-mongo-serializer

# create a .env file and add below environment variables.
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=Mongy
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=<yourmongousername>
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=<yourmongopassword>
MONGO_HOST=mongy_mongo
MONGO_DATA_DIR=/data/db
MONGO_LOG_DIR=/dev/null

docker-compose build
docker-compose up
