Note

The example reads the shop data described in The Business Layer.

import json
from datetime import datetime

from groupdocs.assembly import DataSourceInfo, DocumentAssembler

def parse_dates(item):
    # JSON has no dates: turn the order dates into datetime objects for the template
    for key in ("OrderDate", "ShippingDate"):
        if key in item:
            item[key] = datetime.strptime(item[key], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
    return item

with open("orders.json", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    orders = json.load(f, object_hook=parse_dates)

assembler = DocumentAssembler()
assembler.assemble_document("in-table-list-with-alternate-content.msg", "in-table-list-with-alternate-content-report.msg", [
    DataSourceInfo(orders, "orders"),
    DataSourceInfo("Harbor Lane Provisions <orders@harborlane.example>", "sender"),
    DataSourceInfo(["Quayside Bistro <orders@quaysidebistro.example>", "jonas.weber@harborlane.example"], "recipients"),
    DataSourceInfo("amara.osei@harborlane.example", "cc"),
    DataSourceInfo("In table list with alternate content", "subject"),
