python-javaobj is a python library that provides functions for reading (writing is WIP) of Java objects serialized or will be deserialized by ObjectOutputStream. This form of object representation is a standard data interchange format in Java world.

javaobj module exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library marshal, pickle and json modules.

Features

• Java object instance unmarshaling
• Java class itself unmarshaling
• Primitive values unmarshaling
• Automatic conversion of Java Collections to python ones (HashMap => dict, ArrayList => list, etc)

Requirements

• Python >= 2.6

Usage

Unmarshalling of Java serialised object:

``` import javaobj

jobj = self.read_file("obj5.ser") pobj = javaobj.loads(jobj) print pobj ```

Or, you can use Unmarshaller object directly:

``` import javaobj

marshaller = javaobj.JavaObjectUnmarshaller(open("sunExample.ser")) pobj = marshaller.readObject()

self.assertEqual(pobj.value, 17) self.assertTrue(pobj.next)

pobj = marshaller.readObject() ```
