Save & load objects

This notebook demonstrates methods for saving and loading EDSL objects locally.

[1]:

from edsl import QuestionFreeText, Survey, ScenarioList, Scenario, AgentList, Agent

Example objects

You can call the example() method on any object to see and use an example:

[2]:

my_question = QuestionFreeText.example()
my_survey = Survey.example()
my_scenariolist = ScenarioList.example()
my_scenario = Scenario.example()
my_agentlist = AgentList.example()
my_agent = Agent.example()

Saving objects

You can call the save() method on an object to save it as a compressed json file:

[3]:

my_question.save("saved_question")
my_survey.save("saved_survey")
my_scenariolist.save("saved_scenariolist")
my_scenario.save("saved_scenario")
my_agentlist.save("saved_agentlist")
my_agent.save("saved_agent")

Saved to saved_question.json.gz
Saved to saved_survey.json.gz
Saved to saved_scenariolist.json.gz
Saved to saved_scenario.json.gz
Saved to saved_agentlist.json.gz
Saved to saved_agent.json.gz

Loading objects

You can call the load() method on an object class to create an object from a json file:

[4]:

my_saved_question = QuestionFreeText.load("saved_question.json.gz")
my_saved_survey = Survey.load("saved_survey.json.gz")
my_saved_scenariolist = ScenarioList.load("saved_scenariolist.json.gz")
my_saved_scenario = Scenario.load("saved_scenario.json.gz")
my_saved_agentlist = AgentList.load("saved_agentlist.json.gz")
my_saved_agent = Agent.load("saved_agent.json.gz")

Compare

Here we verify the original and saved/loaded objects are identical:

[5]:

my_question == my_saved_question

[5]:

True

[6]:

my_survey == my_saved_survey

[6]:

True

[7]:

my_scenariolist == my_saved_scenariolist

[7]:

True

[8]:

my_scenario == my_saved_scenario

[8]:

True

[9]:

my_agentlist == my_saved_agentlist

[9]:

True

[10]:

my_agent == my_saved_agent

[10]:

True

Posting to Coop

Here we post all the objects and this notebook to the Coop. Learn more about using the Coop.
