load_asn

jwst.associations.load_asn(serialized, format=None, first=True, validate=True, registry=<class 'jwst.associations.registry.AssociationRegistry'>, **kwargs)

Load an Association from a file or object

Parameters:

• serialized (object) – The serialized form of the association.
• format (str or None) – The format to force. If None, try all available.
• validate (bool) – Validate against the class’ defined schema, if any.
• first (bool) – A serialization potentially matches many rules. Only return the first succesful load.
• registry (AssociationRegistry or None) – The AssociationRegistry to use. If None, no registry is used. Can be passed just a registry class instead of instance.
• kwargs (dict) – Other arguments to pass to the load methods defined in the Association.IORegistry

Returns:

Return type:

The Association object

Raises:

AssociationNotValidError – Cannot create or validate the association.

Notes

The serialized object can be in any format supported by the registered I/O routines. For example, for json and yaml formats, the input can be either a string or a file object containing the string.

If no registry is specified, the default Association.load method is used.
