JSON output

[majurgens]

Can we get JSON output from the library? Maybe the output is already convertible to JSON output? I'm not very good with python and so maybe this is already available

This is not part of the library but it is easy to create something like this:

import asyncio
import json
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from aiowmi.connection import Connection
from aiowmi.query import Query
from aiowmi.exceptions import WbemFalse

def encode_value(value):
    if isinstance(value, datetime):
        # you need to choose some JSON compatible datetime conversion
        return value.isoformat() 
    if isinstance(value, timedelta):
         # you need to choose some JSON compatible timedelta conversion
        return value.microseconds  # 
    return value

async def get_json_output(query, conn, service):
    await query.start(conn, service)

    result = []
    while True:
        try:
            res = await query.next()
        except WbemFalse:
            break

        props = res.get_properties()
        item = {name: encode_value(prop.value) for name, prop in props.items()}
        result.append(item)

    return json.dumps(result)

async def main():

    host = IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME
    username = MY_USERNAME
    password = MY_SECRET_PASSWORD
    domain = OPTIONAL_DOMAIN

    # Just some query...
    query = Query('SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter')

    service = None

    conn = Connection(host, username, password, domain=domain)
    await conn.connect()
    try:
        service = await conn.negotiate_ntlm()
        out = await get_json_output(query, conn, service)
        print(out)  # print the JSON output
    except Exception:
        raise
    finally:
        if service:
            service.close()
        conn.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

Thanks for the great response
