pyapacheatlas.core.entity.AtlasEntity.to_json#
- AtlasEntity.to_json(minimum=False)#
Convert this atlas entity to a dict / json. Returns typename, guid, and qualified name if guid is not none. If guid is None then this will return typename, uniqueAttributes with a sub object of qualified name.
By specifying a guid, this method assumes you will be uploading the entity (and want or at least willing to accept changes to the entity). By NOT specifying a guid, this assumes you will be using the entity as a reference used by another one in the upload (e.g. creating a process entity that uses an existing entity as an input or output).
- Parameters
minimum (bool) – If True, returns only the type name, qualified name, and guid of the entity (when guid is defined). If True and guid is None, returns typeName, uniqueAttributes and qualifiedName. If False, return the full entity and its attributes and relationship attributes.
- Returns
The json representation of this atlas entity.
- Return type
dict
