trestle.core.base_model ¤
Pydantic base model for use within a trestle workspace and associated configuration.
The heart of the current OSCAL model within trestle is based on pydantic (https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) which itself is a veneer on-top of python data classes.
Functionality here defines a base-model which all trestle oscal data models inherit from. This allows additional functionality to be easily inserted.
I can write a comment in here and you can even edit on the same line.

Classes¤
FieldWrapper ¤
Wrapper for FieldInfo that includes the field name for Pydantic v2 compatibility.
Why this exists: In Pydantic v1, ModelField carried both the field name and its metadata. Pydantic v2 replaced ModelField with FieldInfo, which no longer stores the field name — only model_fields (a dict[name, FieldInfo]) knows the mapping. FieldWrapper re-attaches that name so downstream code can treat it as a drop-in for the old ModelField.
Call-site inventory (update when adding / removing uses): * OscalBaseModel.alias_to_field_map — constructs wrappers from model_fields * OscalBaseModel.get_field_value_by_alias — checks isinstance(x, FieldWrapper)
TODO (migration): If a future Pydantic release re-exposes the field name on FieldInfo directly, FieldWrapper can be removed. At that point: 1. Replace every FieldWrapper(name, info) construction with plain info. 2. Replace attr_field.name accesses with whatever the new FieldInfo attribute is. 3. Drop the isinstance(attr_field, FieldWrapper) guard in get_field_value_by_alias. 4. Remove this class. Track the upstream issue at https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues.

Trestle defined pydantic base model for use with OSCAL pydantic dataclasses.
This BaseModel provides two types of functionality: 1. Overrides default configuation of the pydantic library with behaviours required for trestle 2. Provides utility functions for trestle which are specific to OSCAL and the naming schema associated with it.

Methods:¤
__eq__(other) ¤
Override equality to compare model content for dynamically created models.
Pydantic v2 changed equality behavior to be stricter - it checks isinstance(other, self.class) which fails for dynamically created models from different create_model() calls (e.g. stripped models returned by create_stripped_model_type).
This override restores Pydantic v1 behavior: compare by class name and field values, allowing dynamically created models with the same name and identical content to be equal.
Uses dict for field comparison — it holds the already-in-memory field values and avoids the O(n) deep serialization cost of model_dump().

Create a map from field alias to field.
Returns:

copy_from(existing_oscal_object) ¤
Copy operation that implicitly does type conversion.
Typically would be used to set an attribute, however, does not need to be.
Deals with two scenarios: 1) Casting across oscal models of equivalent type. The purpose if this is to cross class spaces.
2) The same as above where the item is an array style object which does not correctly serialize to a dict.
3) if the from and 'to' objects are root schema elements the copy operation will copy the root element to the value.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
existing_oscal_object | OscalBaseModel | The oscal object where fields are copied from. | required |

copy_to(new_oscal_type) ¤
Opportunistic copy operation between similar types of data classes.
Due to the way in which oscal is constructed we get a set of similar / the same definition across various oscal models. Due to the lack of guarantees that they are the same we cannot easily 'collapse' the mode.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
new_oscal_type | Type[OscalBaseModel] | The desired type of oscal model | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
OscalBaseModel | Opportunistic copy of the data into the new model type. |

create_stripped_model_type(stripped_fields=None, stripped_fields_aliases=None) classmethod ¤
Create a pydantic model, which is derived from the current model, but missing certain fields.
OSCAL mandates a 'strict' schema (e.g. unless otherwise stated no additional fields), and certain fields are mandatory. Given this the corresponding dataclasses are also strict. Workflows with trestle require missing mandatory fields. This allows creation of derivative models missing certain fields.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
stripped_fields | Optional[List[str]] | The fields to be removed from the current data class. | None |
stripped_fields_aliases | Optional[List[str]] | The fields to be removed from the current data class provided by alias. | None |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Type[OscalBaseModel] | Pydantic data class thta can be used to instanciate a model. |
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TrestleError | If user provided both stripped_fields and stripped_field_aliases or neither. |
TrestleError | If incorrect aliases or field names are provided. |

is_collection_container() classmethod ¤
Determine whether a pydantic model has being created to wrap a collection primitive (e.g a list or dict).
In performing model decomposition it is possible using trestle framework to automatically generate a model which looks like
class Foo(OscalBaseModel): root: List[Bar] # Pydantic v2 RootModel uses 'root' field
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
bool | Boolean on if it meets the above criteria |
When these cases exist we need special handling of the type information.

oscal_write(path) ¤
Write out a pydantic data model in an oscal friendly way.
OSCAL schema mandates that top level elements are wrapped in a singular json/yaml field. This function handles both json and yaml output as well as formatting of the json.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |

serialize_oscal_fields(value, handler, _info) ¤
Targeted serializer for the two OSCAL-specific output concerns.
- datetime → robust_datetime_serialization (+00:00 offset, not Z)
- AnyUrl → str (Pydantic v2 AnyUrl is no longer a str subclass)
All other field types are passed straight through to Pydantic's default handler via handler(value), so only these two types incur extra work.

Functions:¤
robust_datetime_serialization(input_dt) ¤
Serialize a datetime to an OSCAL-compatible ISO-8601 string with explicit UTC offset.
The output always uses +00:00 (not Z) as the UTC designator, which is the form expected by the OSCAL JSON schemas.
Precision behaviour (changed from trestle v1): Previously all datetimes were serialized with millisecond precision, e.g. 2024-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00. This function now omits sub-second precision when the microsecond component is zero, producing 2024-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 instead. Both forms are valid ISO-8601 and accepted by OSCAL validators. Consumers that rely on exact string comparison of stored datetimes should be updated to use datetime-aware comparison instead.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
input_dt | datetime | Input datetime to serialize. Must be timezone-aware. | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
str | UTC ISO-8601 string with |
str | Sub-second precision is included only when microseconds are non-zero. |
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TrestleError | If the datetime has no timezone info or no UTC offset. |
