+ # uproot-custom
29
+
30
+ This is a prototype repository of an extension that allows `uproot` to read custom classes from ROOT files.
31
+
32
+ `uproot` can already read some custom classes directly. However, in some cases, custom classes are too complex for `uproot` to read, such as when their `Streamer` methods are overridden or some specific data members are not supported by `uproot`.
33
+
34
+ This extension privides a `Reader` interface and allows you to read such custom classes by providing your own `Reader`. The `Reader` interface defines how to read the data members of a class from the binary stream.
35
+
36
+ ## Design overview
37
+
38
+ In ROOT, data are stored in a tree structure. For example, when a custom class is defined as:
39
+
40
+ ```cpp
41
+ class TMySubClass : public TObject {
42
+ int m_index;
43
+ float m_x;
44
+ };
45
+
46
+ class TMyClass : public TObject {
47
+ double m_energy;
48
+ std::vector<MySubClass> m_daughters;
49
+ };
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ The data tree is:
53
+
54
+ ```mermaid
55
+ graph TD
56
+ A([TMyClass]) --> B(double m_energy)
57
+ A --> C(std::vector&lt;TMySubClass&gt; m_daughters)
58
+ C --> D([TMySubClass])
59
+ D --> E(int m_index)
60
+ D --> F(float m_x)
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ To handle the tree-like data structure, `Reader` is introduced. It consists of `Python` and `C++` parts. The `Python` part is responsible for generating the information tree, constructing C++ readers, and reconstructing data to `awkward` array. The `C++` part is responsible for reading the data members of the class from the binary stream.
64
+
65
+ ### Generate information tree
66
+
67
+ `uproot` can read these structure information from the ROOT file, but not in tree format. So the first step is to generate an information tree from the ROOT file. The information tree is a nested structure that contains the data members of the class, including types, names and children if any.
68
+
69
+ ### Construct C++ readers
70
+
71
+ According to the information tree, we can instantiate C++ readers and combine them into a tree structure. The top reader drives its sub-readers to read data recursively. After the reading process,
72
+ readers obtain the results from their sub-readers recursively, then the top reader returns the final result.
73
+
74
+ ### Reconstruct data to `awkward` array
75
+
76
+ Since embedding arrays together into `awkward` array in C++ is not straightforward, we left this task to Python. After the C++ reader returns the result, we can reconstruct the data into `awkward` array according to the information tree.
77
+
78
+ ## Predefined readers
79
+
80
+ `uproot-custom` provides some predefined readers for common ROOT classes:
81
+
82
+ | Reader | Description |
83
+ |--------------------|-------------|
84
+ | BasicTypeReader<T> | Reads basic types like `int`, `float`, `double`, etc. |
85
+ | TObjectReader | Skip `TObject` header when reading classes that inherit from `TObject`. |
86
+ | TStringReader | Reads `TString` |
87
+ | STLSeqReader | Reads `std::vector`, `std::array`, etc. |
88
+ | STLMapReader | Reads `std::map`, `std::unordered_map`, etc. |
89
+ | STLStringReader | Reads `std::string` |
90
+ | TArrayReader<T> | Reads `TArray` types like `TArrayI`, `TArrayF`, `TArrayD`, etc. |
91
+ | ObjectReader | Reads custom classes that inherit from `TObject`. |
92
+ | CArrayReader | Reads C-style arrays like `int[]` |
93
+ | EmptyReader | A reader that does nothing. Some branches may not have any data, and the information of the corresponding class will not be stored in the ROOT file. In this case, `EmptyReader` is used to skip the branch. |

95
+ ## Implement your own `Reader`
96
+
97
+ ### Full example
98
+
99
+ A complete example of how to impolement your own readers is available in the `example` directory of this repository.
100
+
101
+ ### Pre-requisites
102
+
103
+ Make sure you have `GCC>13.1`/`Clang>=16.0.0`/`MSVC>=19.31`, `cmake` installed on your system.
104
+
105
+ 1. Create a Python project and install `uproot-custom`:
106
+
107
+ ```bash
108
+ mkdir my_reader
109
+ cd my_reader
110
+ python3 -m venv .venv
111
+ source .venv/bin/activate
112
+ pip install uproot-custom
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ 2. Create a `pyproject.toml` file in the root directory of your project:
116
+
117
+ ```toml
118
+ [build-system]
119
+ requires = ["scikit-build-core>=0.11", "pybind11>=2.10.0", "uproot-custom"]
120
+ build-backend = "scikit_build_core.build"
121
+
122
+ [project]
123
+ name = "my-reader"
124
+ requires-python = ">=3.9"
125
+ dependencies = ["uproot-custom"]
126
+ version = "0.1.0"
127
+
128
+ [tool.scikit-build]
129
+ wheel.packages = ["my_reader"]
130
+ build-dir = "build/{wheel_tag}"
131
+ cmake.source-dir = "cpp"
132
+ cmake.build-type = "Debug" # Comment for release builds
133
+
134
+ [tool.black]
135
+ exclude = "/(build|dist|env|.git|.tox|.eggs|.venv)/"
136
+ line-length = 95
137
+ target-version = ['py39', 'py310', 'py311', 'py312', 'py313']
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ you can change the `name`, `version`, and other fields as you like.
141
+
142
+ ### Reader interface
143
+
144
+ For a custom `Reader`, a C++ part and a Python part are both required.
145
+
146
+ For C++ part, the constructor must inherit from `IElementReader`, and these methods must be implemented:
147
+ - `void read(BinaryBuffer& buffer)`: Read data from the binary buffer.
148
+ - `py::object data() const`: Return the data as a Python object. You can return anything defined in `pybind11`, such as `py::tuple`, `py::list`, `py::array_t`, etc.
149
+
150
+ For Python part, the class must inherit from `uproot_custom.BaseReader` and implement the following class methods:
151
+
152
+ - `gen_tree_config`: Generate a configuration dictionary for the reader based on the information tree. It should return a dictionary if you want your reader to be used, otherwise return `None`.
153
+ - `get_cpp_reader`: Identify the tree configuration and return the C++ reader instance if it matches, otherwise return `None`.
154
+ - `reconstruct_array`: Reconstruct the raw data to an `awkward` array according to the tree configuration.
155
+
156
+ ### Implement the C++ reader
157
+
158
+ 1. Create a `cpp` directory in the root directory of your project, and create a `my_reader.cc` file in it.
159
+
160
+ 2. In `my_reader.cc`, include the necessary headers and implement your reader class. For example:
161
+
162
+ ```cpp
163
+ #include "uproot-custom/uproot-custom.hh"
164
+ using namespace uproot;
165
+
166
+ class MyReader : public IElementReader {
167
+ public:
168
+ // Must at least receive a name
169
+ MyReader( std::string name )
170
+ : IElementReader(name), m_data( std::make_shared<std::vector<int>>() ) {}
171
+
172
+ // Implement these methods
173
+ void read( BinaryBuffer& buffer ) {
174
+ // Read data from the buffer
175
+ // Implement your reading logic here
176
+ }
177
+
178
+ py::object data() const {
179
+ // Return the data as a Python object
180
+ return make_array( m_data );
181
+ }
182
+
183
+ private:
184
+ const std::string m_name;
185
+ std::shared_ptr<std::vector<int>> m_data; // Example data member
186
+ };
187
+ ```
188
+
189
+ then declare the C++ module in the same file:
190
+
191
+ ```cpp
192
+ PYBIND11_MODULE( my_reader_cpp, m ) {
193
+ register_reader<MyReader>(m, "MyReader");
194
+ }
195
+ ```
196
+
197
+ if the constructor requires more parameters, register it with the constructor signature (except the name):
198
+
199
+ ```cpp
200
+ // Constructor signature:
201
+ MyReader( std::string name, bool param1, std::vector<IElementReader> sub_readers )
202
+
203
+ // Register the reader with the constructor signature:
204
+ PYBIND11_MODULE( my_reader_cpp, m ) {
205
+ register_reader<MyReader, bool, std::vector<IElementReader>>(m, "MyReader");
206
+ }
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ > [!IMPORTANT]
210
+ > Use `std::shared_ptr` for data members in your reader class, as `uproot-custom` will manage the memory of the data members. This is important to avoid memory leaks and ensure proper cleanup.
211
+
212
+ 3. Create a `CMakeLists.txt` file in `cpp` directory:
213
+
214
+ ```cmake
215
+ cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)
216
+
217
+ if(CMAKE_VERSION VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL 3.27)
218
+ cmake_policy(SET CMP0148 NEW)
219
+ endif()
220
+
221
+ set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
222
+ set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
223
+
224
+ project(${SKBUILD_PROJECT_NAME}
225
+ VERSION ${SKBUILD_PROJECT_VERSION}
226
+ LANGUAGES CXX
227
+ )
228
+
229
+ set(PYBIND11_NEWPYTHON ON)
230
+ find_package(pybind11 REQUIRED)
231
+ find_package(uproot-custom REQUIRED)
232
+
233
+ pybind11_add_module(my_reader_cpp
234
+ my_reader.cc
235
+ # Add other source files here if needed
236
+ )
237
+
238
+ target_link_libraries(my_reader_cpp PRIVATE uproot-custom)
239
+
240
+ if(DEFINED SKBUILD_PROJECT_NAME)
241
+ install(
242
+ TARGETS my_reader_cpp
243
+ LIBRARY DESTINATION ${SKBUILD_PROJECT_NAME}
244
+ )
245
+ endif()
246
+ ```
247
+
248
+ ### Implement the Python reader
249
+
250
+ 1. Create a `my_reader` directory in the root directory of your project, and create a `__init__.py` file in it.
251
+
252
+ 2. In `__init__.py`, import the C++ module and implement your Python reader class:
253
+
254
+ ```python
255
+ from . import my_reader_cpp as _cpp
256
+ from uproot_custom import BaseReader
257
+
258
+
259
+ class MyReader(BaseReader):
260
+ @classmethod
261
+ def gen_tree_config(
262
+ cls,
263
+ top_type_name: str,
264
+ cls_streamer_info: dict,
265
+ all_streamer_info: dict,
266
+ item_path: str = "",
267
+ ) -> dict | None:
268
+ """
269
+ Identify the node in the information tree,
270
+ return the configuration dictionary if the node is matched,
271
+ otherwise return None.
272
+ """
273
+
274
+ @classmethod
275
+ def get_cpp_reader(cls, tree_config) -> _cpp.MyReader | None:
276
+ """
277
+ Identify the tree_config,
278
+ if it is matched, return the C++ reader instance,
279
+ otherwise return None.
280
+ """
281
+
282
+ @classmethod
283
+ def reconstruct_array(cls, raw_data, tree_config):
284
+ """
285
+ Reconstruct the raw data to an `awkward` array according to the tree_config.
286
+ """
287
+ ```
288
+
289
+ > ![NOTE]
290
+ > The `@classmethod` is not necesarry, but when a regular member method is used, you should pass the instance of the class to `registered_readers`.
291
+
292
+ ### Register the reader
293
+
294
+ #### Register branch path
295
+
296
+ The default interpretation `uproot_custom.AsCustom` needs to know which branch to read with custom readers. You can export the branch path with:
297
+
298
+ ```python
299
+ import uproot
300
+ from uproot_custom import regularize_object_path
301
+
302
+ f = uproot.open("my_file.root")
303
+ branch = f["path/to/my_branch"]
304
+
305
+ print(regularize_object_path(branch.object_path))
306
+ ```
307
+
308
+ This will print the regularized object path like `/my_tree:my_branch`. Then you can add it to the `AsCustom.target_branches` set:
309
+
310
+ ```python
311
+ from uproot_custom import AsCustom
312
+
313
+ AsCustom.target_branches.add("your-branch-path")
314
+ ```
315
+
316
+ #### Register the reader
317
+
318
+ To let `uproot_custom.AsCustom` know your reader, you need to register it:
319
+
320
+ ```python
321
+ from uproot_custom import registered_readers
322
+ from my_reader import MyReader
323
+
324
+ registered_readers.add(MyReader)
325
+ ```
326
+
327
+ Then you can use `uproot` to read the custom class as usual.
328
+
329
+ > [!TIP]
330
+ > It is recommended to do the registration in your project `__init__.py`, so that you can use your custom reader as long as you import your project.
