tamaki.mes.backup.compare.extractJsonFromBytes

Description

Extracts all JSON files from a configuration-backup ZIP supplied as a byte array: for example the output of system.mes.util.backup(), or the bytes read by extractJsonFromZip. The ZIP is opened in memory and every .json entry is decoded with system.util.jsonDecode.

Syntax

tamaki.mes.backup.compare.extractJsonFromBytes(bytes)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
bytes	byte[]	False	A byte array of a backup ZIP (for example from system.mes.util.backup()).

Returns

A Dict mapping each JSON file name (without the .json extension) to its parsed contents.

Code Examples

# Compare against the current database: take a live backup and extract its JSON
backupBytes = system.mes.util.backup()
oldJsonData = tamaki.mes.backup.compare.extractJsonFromBytes(backupBytes)
