Description: More human readable JSON serializer/de-serializer for MongoEngine
        =================================================================
        
        |Build Status| |Coverage Status| |Code Health| |PyPI version|
        
        What This?
        ----------
        
        This script has MongoEngine Document json serialization more-natural.
        
        Why this invented?
        ------------------
        
        Using MongoEngine to create something (e.g. RESTful API), sometimes you
        might want to serialize the data from the db into JSON, but some fields
        are weird and not suitable for frontend/api:
        
        .. code:: json
        
            {
              "_id": {
                "$oid": "5700c32a1cbd5856815051ce"
              },
              "name": "Hiroaki Yamamoto",
              "registered_date": {
                  "$date": 1459667811724
              }
            }
        
        The points are 2 points:
        
        -  ``_id`` might not be wanted because jslint disagrees ``_`` character
           unless declaring ``jslint nomen:true``
        -  There are sub-fields such ``$oid`` and ``$date``. These fields are
           known as `MongoDB Extended
           JSON <https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongodb-extended-json/>`__.
           However, considering MongoEngine is ODM and therefore it has
           schema-definition methods, the fields shouldn't have the special
           fields. In particular problems, you might get
           ``No such property $oid on undefined`` error when you handle above
           generated data on frontend.
        
        To solve the problems, the generated data should be like this:
        
        .. code:: json
        
            {
              "id": "5700c32a1cbd5856815051ce",
              "name": "Hiroaki Yamamoto",
              "registered_date": 1459667811724
            }
        
        Making above structure can be possible by doing re-mapping, but if we do
        it on `API's controller
        object <https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/DevPedia-CocoaCore/MVC.html>`__,
        the code might get super-dirty:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            """Dirty code."""
            import mongoengine as db
        
        
            class User(db.Document):
              """User class."""
              name = db.StringField(required=True, unique=True)
              registered_date = db.DateTimeField()
        
        
            def get_user(self):
              """Get user."""
              models = [
                {
                  ("id" if key == "_id" else key): (
                    value.pop("$oid") if "$oid" in value and isinstance(value, dict)
                    else value.pop("$date") if "$date" in value and isinstance(value, dict)
                    else value  #What if there are the special fields in child dict?
                  )
                  for (key, value) in doc.items()
                } for doc in User.objects(pk=ObjectId("5700c32a1cbd5856815051ce"))
              ]
              return json.dumps(models, indent=2)
        
        To give the solution of this problem, I developed this scirpt. By using
        this script, you will not need to make the transform like above. i.e.
        
        .. code:: python
        
        
            """A little-bit clean code."""
        
            import mongoengine as db
            import mongoengine_goodjson as gj
        
        
            class User(gj.Document):
              """User class."""
              name = db.StringField(required=True, unique=True)
              registered_date = db.DateTimeField()
        
        
            def get_user(self):
              """Get user."""
              return model_cls.objects(
                pk=ObjectId("5700c32a1cbd5856815051ce")
              ).to_json(indent=2)
        
        How to use it
        -------------
        
        Generally you can define the document as usual, but you might want to
        inherits ``mongoengnie_goodjson.Document`` or
        ``mongoengnie_goodjson.EmbeddedDocument``.
        
        Here is the example:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            """Example schema."""
        
            import mongoengine_goodjson as gj
            import mongoengine as db
        
        
            class Address(gj.EmbeddedDocument):
                """Address schema."""
        
                street = db.StringField()
                city = db.StringField()
                state = db.StringField()
        
        
            class User(gj.Document):
                """User data schema."""
        
                name = db.StringField()
                email = db.EmailField()
                address = db.EmbeddedDocumentListField(Address)
        
        Feature: Follow Reference
        -------------------------
        
        Adding documents with ``ReferenceField``, the fields are serialized as
        ObjectId by default:
        
        ``model.py``
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import mongoengine as db
            import mongoengine_goodjson as gj
        
        
            class Book(gj.Document):
              """Book information model."""
        
              name = db.StringField(required=True)
              isbn = db.StringField(required=True)
              author = db.StringField(required=True)
              publisher = db.StringField(required=True)
              publish_date = db.DateTimeField(required=True)
        
        
            class User(gj.Document):
              firstname = db.StringField(required=True)
              lastname = db.StringField(required=True)
              books_bought = db.ListField(db.ReferenceField(Book))
              favorite_one = db.ReferenceField(Book)
        
        ``The example of generated output``
        
        .. code:: json
        
            {
              "id": "570ee9d1fec55e755db82129",
              "firstname": "James",
              "lastname": "Smith",
              "books_bought": [
                "570eea0afec55e755db8212a",
                "570eea0bfec55e755db8212b",
                "570eea0bfec55e755db8212c"
              ],
              "favorite_one": "570eea0bfec55e755db8212b"
            }
        
        This seems to be good deal for ``Reference Field``, but sometimes you
        might want to generate the Document with Referenced Document like
        Embedded Document:
        
        .. code:: json
        
            {
              "id": "570ee9d1fec55e755db82129",
              "firstname": "James",
              "lastname": "Smith",
              "books_bought": [
                {
                  "id": "570eea0afec55e755db8212a",
                  "name": "ドグラ・マグラ (上)",
                  "author": "夢野 久作",
                  "publisher": "角川文庫",
                  "publish_date": "1976-10-01",
                  "isbn": "978-4041366035"
                },
                {
                  "id": "570eea0bfec55e755db8212b",
                  "name": "ドグラ・マグラ (下)",
                  "author": "夢野 久作",
                  "publisher": "角川文庫",
                  "publish_date": "1976-10-01",
                  "isbn": "978-4041366042"
                },
                {
                  "id": "570eea0bfec55e755db8212c",
                  "name": "The Voynich Manuscript: Full Color Photographic Edition",
                  "author": "Unknown",
                  "publisher": "FQ Publishing",
                  "publish_date": "2015-01-17",
                  "isbn": "978-1599865553"
                }
              ],
              "favorite_one": {
                "id": "570eea0bfec55e755db8212b",
                "name": "ドグラ・マグラ (下)",
                "author": "夢野 久作",
                "publisher": "角川文庫",
                "publish_date": "1976-10-01",
                "isbn": "978-4041366042"
              }
            }
        
        Making this format can be done by making Document.objects query for each
        reference. However, doing it, the code would be also dirty:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def output_references():
              user = User.objects(pk=ObjectId("570ee9d1fec55e755db82129")).get()
              user_dct = json.loads(user.to_json())
              user_dct["books"] = [
                json.loads(book.to_json()) for book in user.books_bought
              ]
              user_dct["favorite_one"] = json.loads(user.favorite_one.to_json())
              return jsonify(user_dct)
              # ...And what if there are references in the referenced document??
        
        To avoid this annoying problem, this script has new function called
        ``Follow Reference`` since 0.9. To use it, you can just set
        ``follow_reference=True`` on serialization:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def output_references():
              user = User.objects(pk=ObjectId("570ee9d1fec55e755db82129")).get()
              return jsonify(json.loads(user.to_json(follow_reference=True)))
        
        Note that setting ``follow_reference=True``, ``Document.to_json`` checks
        the reference recursively until the depth is reached 3rd depth. To
        change the maximum recursion depth, you can set the value you want to
        ``max_depth``:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def output_references():
              user = User.objects(pk=ObjectId("570ee9d1fec55e755db82129")).get()
              return jsonify(json.loads(user.to_json(follow_reference=True, max_depth=5)))
        
        Not implemented list
        --------------------
        
        The following types are partially implemented because there aren't any
        corresponding fields on MongoEngine:
        
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        | Type        | Encoder                | Decoder   |
        +=============+========================+===========+
        | Regex       | :white\_check\_mark:   | :x:       |
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        | MinKey      | :white\_check\_mark:   | :x:       |
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        | MaxKey      | :white\_check\_mark:   | :x:       |
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        | TimeStamp   | :white\_check\_mark:   | :x:       |
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        | Code        | :white\_check\_mark:   | :x:       |
        +-------------+------------------------+-----------+
        
        The following document types are not implemented yet:
        
        -  ``DynamicDocument``
        -  ``DynamicEmbeddedDocument``
        -  ``MapReduceDocument``
        
        Btw I don't think above documents implementations are needed because
        they can be handled by using multiple-inheritance. If you couldn't do
        it, post issue or PR.
        
        FollowReference Decoder
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Since 0.9, this script supports Follow Reference, but it doesn't support
        decoder. Passing "followed reference" dict to ReferenceField, it
        recognized ``id`` field only. This behavior will be fixed at 0.10.
        
        Contribute
        ----------
        
        This scirpt is coded on TDD. i.e. Writing a test that fails, and then
        write the actual code to pass the test. Therefore, ``virtualenv``,
        ``nose`` and ``tox`` will be needed to code this script. In addtion, you
        will need to have `MongoDB <https://www.mongodb.org/>`__ installed and
        it must be running on the computer to run the tests.
        
        In addition, you can use `gulp <http://gulpjs.com/>`__ to watch the file
        changes.
