The low-level Metadata API in ``tuf.api.metadata`` module contains: * Safe de/serialization of metadata to and from files. * Access to and modification of signed metadata content. * Signing metadata and verifying signatures. Metadata API implements functionality at the metadata file level, it does not provide TUF repository or client functionality on its own (but can be used to implement them). The API design is based on the file format defined in the `TUF specification `_ and the object attributes generally follow the JSON format used in the specification. The above principle means that a ``Metadata`` object represents a single metadata file, and has a ``signed`` attribute that is an instance of one of the four top level signed classes (``Root``, ``Timestamp``, ``Snapshot`` and ``Targets``). To make Python type annotations useful ``Metadata`` can be type constrained: e.g. the signed attribute of ``Metadata[Root]`` is known to be ``Root``. Currently Metadata API supports JSON as the file format. A basic example of repository implementation using the Metadata is available in `examples/repository `_.

Provides methods to convert to and from dictionary, read and write to and from file and to create and verify metadata signatures. ``Metadata[T]`` is a generic container type where T can be any one type of [``Root``, ``Timestamp``, ``Snapshot``, ``Targets``]. The purpose of this is to allow static type checking of the signed attribute in code using Metadata:: root_md = Metadata[Root].from_file("root.json") # root_md type is now Metadata[Root]. This means signed and its # attributes like consistent_snapshot are now statically typed and the # types can be verified by static type checkers and shown by IDEs print(root_md.signed.consistent_snapshot) Using a type constraint is not required but not doing so means T is not a specific type so static typing cannot happen. Note that the type constraint ``[Root]`` is not validated at runtime (as pure annotations are not available then).
