All about JSON: How to develop frontends
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Borg does not have a public API on the Python level. That does not keep you from writing :code:`import borg`,
|
|
but does mean that there are no release-to-release guarantees on what you might find in that package, not
|
|
even for point releases (1.1.x), and there is no documentation beyond the code and the internals documents.
|
|
|
|
Borg does on the other hand provide an API on a command-line level. In other words, a frontend should
|
|
(for example) create a backup archive just invoke :ref:`borg_create`, give commandline parameters/options
|
|
as needed and parse JSON output from borg.
|
|
|
|
Important: JSON output is expected to be UTF-8, but currently borg depends on the locale being configured
|
|
for that (must be a UTF-8 locale and *not* "C" or "ascii"), so that Python will choose to encode to UTF-8.
|
|
The same applies to any inputs read by borg, they are expected to be UTF-8 encoded also.
|
|
|
|
On POSIX systems, you can usually set environment vars to choose a UTF-8 locale:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
|
|
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another way to get Python's stdin/stdout/stderr streams to use UTF-8 encoding (without having
|
|
a UTF-8 locale / LANG / LC_CTYPE) is:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
|
|
|
|
|
|
See :issue:`2273` for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dealing with non-unicode byte sequences and JSON limitations
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths on POSIX systems can have arbitrary bytes in them (except 0x00 which is used as string terminator in C).
|
|
|
|
Nowadays, UTF-8 encoded paths (which decode to valid unicode) are the usual thing, but a lot of systems
|
|
still have paths from the past, when other, non-unicode codings were used. Especially old Samba shares often
|
|
have wild mixtures of misc. encodings, sometimes even very broken stuff.
|
|
|
|
borg deals with such non-unicode paths ("with funny/broken characters") by decoding such byte sequences using
|
|
UTF-8 coding and "surrogateescape" error handling mode, which maps invalid bytes to special unicode code points
|
|
(surrogate escapes). When encoding such a unicode string back to a byte sequence, the original byte sequence
|
|
will be reproduced exactly.
|
|
|
|
JSON should only contain valid unicode text without any surrogate escapes, so we can't just directly have a
|
|
surrogate-escaped path in JSON ("path" is only one example, this also affects other text-like content).
|
|
|
|
Borg deals with this situation like this (since borg 2.0):
|
|
|
|
For a valid unicode path (no surrogate escapes), the JSON will only have "path": path.
|
|
|
|
For a non-unicode path (with surrogate escapes), the JSON will have 2 entries:
|
|
|
|
- "path": path_approximation (pure valid unicode, all invalid bytes will show up as "?")
|
|
- "path_b64": path_bytes_base64_encoded (if you decode the base64, you get the original path byte string)
|
|
|
|
JSON users need to pick whatever suits their needs best. The suggested procedure (shown for "path") is:
|
|
|
|
- check if there is a "path_b64" key.
|
|
- if it is there, you will know that the original bytes path did not cleanly UTF-8-decode into unicode (has
|
|
some invalid bytes) and that the string given by the "path" key is only an approximation, but not the precise
|
|
path. if you need precision, you must base64-decode the value of "path_b64" and deal with the arbitrary byte
|
|
string you'll get. if an approximation is fine, use the value of the "path" key.
|
|
- if it is not there, the value of the "path" key is all you need (the original bytes path is its UTF-8 encoding).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Logging
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Especially for graphical frontends it is important to be able to convey and reformat progress information
|
|
in meaningful ways. The ``--log-json`` option turns the stderr stream of Borg into a stream of JSON lines,
|
|
where each line is a JSON object. The *type* key of the object determines its other contents.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: JSON logging requires successful argument parsing. Even with ``--log-json`` specified, a
|
|
parsing error will be printed in plain text, because logging set-up happens after all arguments are
|
|
parsed.
|
|
|
|
The following types are in use. Progress information is governed by the usual rules for progress information,
|
|
it is not produced unless ``--progress`` is specified.
|
|
|
|
archive_progress
|
|
Output during operations creating archives (:ref:`borg_create` and :ref:`borg_recreate`).
|
|
The following keys exist, each represents the current progress.
|
|

|
(absent for finished == true)
|
|
total
|
|

|
Prompts
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Prompts assume a JSON form as well when the ``--log-json`` option is specified. Responses
|
|
are still read verbatim from *stdin*, while prompts are JSON messages printed to *stderr*,
|
|
just like log messages.
|
|
|
|
Prompts use the *question_prompt* and *question_prompt_retry* types for the prompt itself,
|
|
and *question_invalid_answer*, *question_accepted_default*, *question_accepted_true*,
|
|
*question_accepted_false* and *question_env_answer* types for information about
|
|
prompt processing.
|
|
|
|
The *message* property contains the same string displayed regularly in the same situation,
|
|
while the *msgid* property may contain a msgid_, typically the name of the
|
|
environment variable that can be used to override the prompt. It is the same for all JSON
|
|
messages pertaining to the same prompt.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: Examples (reformatted, each object would be on exactly one line)
|
|
.. highlight:: none

Providing an invalid answer::
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
{"type": "question_invalid_answer", "msgid": "BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING", "is_prompt": false,
|
|
"message": "Invalid answer, aborting."}
|
|
|
|
Providing a false (negative) answer::
|
|
|
|
{"type": "question_prompt", "msgid": "BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING",
|
|
"message": "... Type 'YES' if you understand this and want to continue: "}
|
|
NO # input on stdin
|
|
{"type": "question_accepted_false", "msgid": "BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING",
|
|
"message": "Aborting.", "is_prompt": false}
|
|
|
|
Providing a true (affirmative) answer::
|
|
|
|
{"type": "question_prompt", "msgid": "BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING",
|
|
"message": "... Type 'YES' if you understand this and want to continue: "}
|
|
YES # input on stdin
|
|
# no further output, just like the prompt without --log-json
|
|
|
|
Passphrase prompts
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Passphrase prompts should be handled differently. Use the environment variables *BORG_PASSPHRASE*
|
|
and *BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE* (see :ref:`env_vars` for reference) to pass passphrases to Borg, don't
|
|
use the interactive passphrase prompts.
|
|
|
|
When setting a new passphrase (:ref:`borg_repo-create`, :ref:`borg_key_change-passphrase`) normally
|
|
Borg prompts whether it should display the passphrase. This can be suppressed by setting
|
|
the environment variable *BORG_DISPLAY_PASSPHRASE* to *no*.
|
|
|
|
When "confronted" with an unknown repository, where the application does not know whether
|
|
the repository is encrypted, the following algorithm can be followed to detect encryption:
|
|
|
|
1. Set *BORG_PASSPHRASE* to gibberish (for example a freshly generated UUID4, which cannot
|
|
possibly be the passphrase)
|
|
2. Invoke ``borg list repository ...``
|
|
3. If this fails, due the repository being encrypted and the passphrase obviously being
|
|
wrong, you'll get an error with the *PassphraseWrong* msgid.
|
|
|
|
The repository is encrypted, for further access the application will need the passphrase.
|
|
|
|
4. If this does not fail, then the repository is not encrypted.
|
|
|
|
Standard output
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
*stdout* is different and more command-dependent than logging. Commands like :ref:`borg_info`, :ref:`borg_create`
|
|
and :ref:`borg_list` implement a ``--json`` option which turns their regular output into a single JSON object.
|
|
|
|
Some commands, like :ref:`borg_list` and :ref:`borg_diff`, can produce *a lot* of JSON. Since many JSON implementations
|
|
don't support a streaming mode of operation, which is pretty much required to deal with this amount of JSON, these
|
|
commands implement a ``--json-lines`` option which generates output in the `JSON lines <http://jsonlines.org/>`_ format,
|
|
which is simply a number of JSON objects separated by new lines.
|
|
|
|
Dates are formatted according to ISO 8601 in local time. No explicit time zone is specified *at this time*
|
|
(subject to change). The equivalent strftime format string is '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f',
|
|
e.g. ``2017-08-07T12:27:20.123456``.
|
|
|
|
The root object of '--json' output will contain at least a *repository* key with an object containing:
|
|
|
|
id
|
|
The ID of the repository, normally 64 hex characters
|
|
location
|
|
Canonicalized repository path, thus this may be different from what is specified on the command line
|
|
last_modified
|
|
Date when the repository was last modified by the Borg client
|
|
|
|
The *encryption* key, if present, contains:
|
|
|
|
mode
|
|
Textual encryption mode name (same as :ref:`borg_repo-create` ``--encryption`` names)
|
|
keyfile
|
|
Path to the local key file used for access. Depending on *mode* this key may be absent.
|
|
|
|
The *cache* key, if present, contains:
|
|
|
|
path
|
|
Path to the local repository cache
|
|
stats
|
|
Object containing cache stats:
|
|
|
|
total_chunks
|
|
Number of chunks
|
|
total_unique_chunks
|
|
Number of unique chunks
|
|
total_size
|
|
Total uncompressed size of all chunks multiplied with their reference counts
|
|
unique_size
|
|
Uncompressed size of all chunks

Archive formats
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
:ref:`borg_info` uses an extended format for archives, which is more expensive to retrieve, while
|
|
:ref:`borg_list` uses a simpler format that is faster to retrieve. Either return archives in an
|
|
array under the *archives* key, while :ref:`borg_create` returns a single archive object under the
|
|
*archive* key.
|
|
|
|
Both formats contain a *name* key with the archive name, the *id* key with the hexadecimal archive ID,
|
|
and the *start* key with the start timestamp.
|
|
|
|
*borg info* and *borg create* further have:
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
End timestamp
|
|
duration
|
|
Duration in seconds between start and end in seconds (float)
|
|
stats
|
|
Archive statistics (freshly calculated, this is what makes "info" more expensive)
|
|
|
|
original_size
|
|
Size of files and metadata before compression
|
|
compressed_size
|
|
Size after compression
|
|
deduplicated_size
|
|
Deduplicated size (against the current repository, not when the archive was created)
|
|
nfiles
|
|
Number of regular files in the archive
|
|
command_line
|
|
Array of strings of the command line that created the archive
|
|
|
|
The note about paths from above applies here as well.
|
|
chunker_params
|
|
The chunker parameters the archive has been created with.
|
|
|
|
:ref:`borg_info` further has:
|
|
|
|
hostname
|
|
Hostname of the creating host
|
|
username
|
|
Name of the creating user
|
|
comment
|
|
Archive comment, if any
|
|
|
|
Some keys/values are more expensive to compute than others (e.g. because it requires opening the archive,
|
|
not just the manifest). To optimize for speed, `borg list repo` does not determine these values except
|
|
when they are requested. The `--format` option is used for that (for normal mode as well as for `--json`
|
|
mode), so, to have the comment included in the json output, you will need:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
borg list repo --format "{name}{comment}" --json`
|
|
|
|
|

File listings
|
|
+++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Each archive item (file, directory, ...) is described by one object in the :ref:`borg_list` output.
|
|
Refer to the *borg list* documentation for the available keys and their meaning.
|
|
|
|
Example (excerpt) of ``borg list --json-lines``::
|
|
|
|
{"type": "d", "mode": "drwxr-xr-x", "user": "user", "group": "user", "uid": 1000, "gid": 1000, "path": "linux", "healthy": true, "target": "", "flags": null, "mtime": "2017-02-27T12:27:20.023407", "size": 0}

Archive Differencing
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Each archive difference item (file contents, user/group/mode) output by :ref:`borg_diff` is represented by an *ItemDiff* object.
|
|
The properties of an *ItemDiff* object are:
|
|
|
|
path:
|
|
The filename/path of the *Item* (file, directory, symlink).
|
|
|
|
changes:
|
|
A list of *Change* objects describing the changes made to the item in the two archives. For example,
|
|
there will be two changes if the contents of a file are changed, and its ownership are changed.
|
|
|
|
The *Change* object can contain a number of properties depending on the type of change that occurred.
|
|
If a 'property' is not required for the type of change, it is not output.
|
|
The possible properties of a *Change* object are:
|
|
|
|
type:
|
|
The **type** property is always present. It identifies the type of change and will be one of these values:
|
|
|
|
- *modified* - file contents changed.
|
|
- *added* - the file was added.
|
|
- *removed* - the file was removed.
|
|
- *added directory* - the directory was added.
|
|
- *removed directory* - the directory was removed.
|
|
- *added link* - the symlink was added.
|
|
- *removed link* - the symlink was removed.
|
|
- *changed link* - the symlink target was changed.
|
|
- *mode* - the file/directory/link mode was changed. Note - this could indicate a change from a
|
|
file/directory/link type to a different type (file/directory/link), such as -- a file is deleted and replaced
|
|
with a directory of the same name.
|
|
- *owner* - user and/or group ownership changed.
|
|
|
|
size:
|
|
If **type** == '*added*' or '*removed*', then **size** provides the size of the added or removed file.
|
|
|
|
added:
|
|
If **type** == '*modified*' and chunk ids can be compared, then **added** and **removed** indicate the amount
|
|
of data 'added' and 'removed'. If chunk ids can not be compared, then **added** and **removed** properties are
|
|
not provided and the only information available is that the file contents were modified.
|
|
|
|
removed:
|
|
See **added** property.
|
|
|
|
old_mode:
|
|
If **type** == '*mode*', then **old_mode** and **new_mode** provide the mode and permissions changes.
|
|
|
|
new_mode:
|
|
See **old_mode** property.
|
|
|
|
old_user:
|
|
If **type** == '*owner*', then **old_user**, **new_user**, **old_group** and **new_group** provide the user
|
|
and group ownership changes.
|
|
|
|
old_group:
|
|
See **old_user** property.
|
|
|
|
new_user:
|
|
See **old_user** property.
|
|
|
|
new_group:
|
|
See **old_user** property.

Message IDs
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Message IDs are strings that essentially give a log message or operation a name, without actually using the
|
|
full text, since texts change more frequently. Message IDs are unambiguous and reduce the need to parse
|
|
log messages.
|
|
|
|
Assigned message IDs and related error RCs (exit codes) are:
|
|
|
|
.. See scripts/errorlist.py; this is slightly edited.
