dimod.SampleSet.to_serializable

SampleSet.to_serializable(use_bytes=False, bytes_type=<type 'str'>)[source]

Convert a SampleSet to a serializable object.

Note that the contents of the SampleSet.info field are assumed to be serializable.

Parameters:
  • use_bytes (bool, optional, default=False) – If True, a compact representation of the biases as bytes is used.
  • bytes_type (class, optional, default=bytes) – If use_bytes is True, this class is used to wrap the bytes objects in the serialization. Useful for Python 2 using BSON encoding, which does not accept the raw bytes type; bson.Binary can be used instead.
Returns:

Object that can be serialized.
Return type:

dict

Examples

This example encodes using JSON.

>>> import dimod
>>> import json
...
>>> samples = dimod.SampleSet.from_samples([-1, 1, -1], dimod.SPIN, energy=-.5)
>>> s = json.dumps(samples.to_serializable())
