    class
    SerializedNotImplemented

    class
    Serializable

    Serializable base class.

    This class is used to serialize objects to JSON.

    It relies on the following methods and properties:

    • is_lc_serializable: Is this class serializable?

      By design, even if a class inherits from Serializable, it is not serializable by default. This is to prevent accidental serialization of objects that should not be serialized.

    • get_lc_namespace: Get the namespace of the LangChain object.

      During deserialization, this namespace is used to identify the correct class to instantiate.

      Please see the Reviver class in langchain_core.load.load for more details.

      During deserialization an additional mapping is handle classes that have moved or been renamed across package versions.

    • lc_secrets: A map of constructor argument names to secret ids.

    • lc_attributes: List of additional attribute names that should be included as part of the serialized representation.
