AWS Python SDK: DynamoDB document to JSON

Question

Actually the same question as this. but I need solution for Python. Does AWS Python SDK support converting DynamoDB docs to JSON within Python Lambda function? In other words I need something like dynamodb-json lib within my Lambda.

Answer 1

you can do something like this :

from boto3.dynamodb.types import TypeDeserializer


def _deserialize(raw_data):
    result = {}
    if not raw_data:
        return result

    deserializer = TypeDeserializer()

    for key, val in raw_data.items():
       result[key] = deserializer.deserialize(val)

    return result
