{"id":9447,"library":"alibabacloud-darabonba-map","title":"Alibaba Cloud Darabonba Map SDK","description":"The `alibabacloud-darabonba-map` library provides the `Map` data structure for Python, which extends the built-in `dict` type with additional methods common in Alibaba Cloud's Darabonba SDK ecosystem. It is primarily used to represent request and response bodies, often generated by Darabonba's code generation tools. The current version is `0.0.1`, indicating it's in a very early development phase with potential for frequent updates.","status":"active","version":"0.0.1","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/aliyun/darabonba-map","tags":["alibaba-cloud","darabonba","sdk","utility","data-structure","dictionary"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install alibabacloud-darabonba-map","lang":"bash","label":"Install stable version"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required for Darabonba environment utilities.","package":"darabonba-env","optional":false},{"reason":"Provides core functionalities for Darabonba SDKs.","package":"darabonba-core","optional":false}],"imports":[{"symbol":"Map","correct":"from alibabacloud_darabonba_map.map import Map"}],"quickstart":{"code":"from alibabacloud_darabonba_map.map import Map\n\n# Create a Map object, similar to a dictionary\nmy_map = Map({\n    'serviceName': 'ecs',\n    'action': 'DescribeInstances',\n    'parameters': {\n        'RegionId': 'cn-hangzhou',\n        'InstanceIds': ['i-bp1abcdefg123456789'],\n    }\n})\n\nprint(f\"Created Map: {my_map}\")\nprint(f\"Accessing 'serviceName': {my_map.get('serviceName')}\")\n\n# Convert a standard dictionary to a Map object\nanother_dict = {'status': 'success', 'code': 200}\nnew_map = Map.from_map(another_dict)\nprint(f\"Map from dict: {new_map}\")\n\n# Map objects behave like dictionaries\nmy_map['new_key'] = 'new_value'\nprint(f\"Map after modification: {my_map}\")\n","lang":"python","description":"Demonstrates how to import the `Map` class, create an instance, access elements, and use the `from_map` class method to convert a standard dictionary.
