V8 Serialization Format Constants

Enums and constant values for the V8 serialization format.

constants.kLatestVersion

constants.kLatestVersion

The current supported serialization format implemented here.

constants.SerializationTag

constants.SerializationTag()

1-byte tags used to identify the type of the next value.

Notes

These tags are defined in the SerializationTag enum in the v8 src.

constants.TagConstraint

constants.TagConstraint(self, name: str, allowed_tags: TagSet[TagT_co])

A named set of SerializationTags.

Attributes

Name	Description
allowed_tag_names	A human-readable list of SerializationTags allowed by this constraint.
allowed_tags	The set of tags allowed by this constraint.
name	A description of the tags allowed by this constraint.

constants.JS_OBJECT_KEY_TAGS

constants.JS_OBJECT_KEY_TAGS

Tags that are allowed in the context of a JSObject key.

Numbers (except bigint) and strings.

constants.ConstantTags

constants.ConstantTags

constants.JS_CONSTANT_TAGS

constants.JS_CONSTANT_TAGS

Tags for JavaScript constant values.

When deserializing, the default Python values representing the JavaScript constants are:

SerializationTag	JavaScript	Python
kTheHole	(empty array index)	JSHole
kUndefined	undefined	JSUndefined
kNull	null	None
kTrue	true	True
kFalse	false	False

constants.JS_ARRAY_BUFFER_TAGS

constants.JS_ARRAY_BUFFER_TAGS

constants.JS_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT_TAGS

constants.JS_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT_TAGS

SerializationTag values that represent wrapped primitive values.

These are primitive values wrapped in an object on the heap.

constants.PrimitiveObjectTag

constants.PrimitiveObjectTag

The type of the SerializationTag values in JS_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT_TAGS

constants.JS_STRING_TAGS

constants.JS_STRING_TAGS
