## Overview

[oneM2M](https://www.onem2m.org/) is a global standards initiative for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. [OM2M](https://www.eclipse.org/om2m/) is an open-source implementation of the oneM2M architecture, providing RESTful resources for IoT devices and applications.

The **`om2m-client`** library enables developers to:

- Create **Application Entities (AEs)** in an OM2M Infrastructure Node (IN).
- Create **Containers** within those AEs.
- Post **ContentInstances (CIN)** to store sensor data or device states.
- Subscribe to notifications via **Subscriptions**.
- Retrieve or list AEs, Containers, and ContentInstances from the CSE.

Designed to run on:

- **MicroPython** (for constrained devices like ESP32).
- **CPython** (for Middle Nodes (MNs) and general use).

---

## Features

- **Lightweight**: Utilizes `urequests`/`ujson` for MicroPython and `requests`/`json` for CPython.
- **OneM2M Resource Management**:
  - **Application Entity (AE)**
  - **Container (CNT)**
  - **ContentInstance (CIN)**
  - **Subscription (SUB)**
- **Resource Retrieval**: Fetch resources in JSON or XML format (JSON is default).
- **Latest Content Retrieval**: Helper functions to obtain the **latest** sensor reading for each device.
- **Comprehensive**: Covers most typical CRUD operations in OM2M.
- **Partial Replication** (CPython only): Functionality to replicate AEs and data to another OM2M instance.

---

## Installation

### Installation on CPython

Install the library using `pip`:

```bash
pip install om2m-client
```

- **Requirements**:
  - **Python 3.6+** (tested with Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9).
  - **requests** library (automatically installed as a dependency).

### Installation on MicroPython

Since MicroPython does **not** utilize `setup.py` or PyPI in the traditional sense, installation involves manually transferring the necessary files or using the `mip` package manager.

#### Method 1: Manual Copy

1. **Copy the `om2m_client` Package**:
   - Transfer the `om2m_client` directory (containing `client.py`, `models.py`, `exceptions.py`, etc.) to your MicroPython device using tools like `mpremote`, `ampy`, or `rshell`.

2. **Ensure Dependencies are Available**:
   - **`urequests`**: Many MicroPython firmware images include `urequests` by default. If not, download and transfer `urequests.py` to your device.
   - **`ujson`**: Typically included in MicroPython firmware. If missing, download and transfer `ujson.py`.

#### Method 2: Using `mip` (MicroPython Package Manager)

1. **Create a `requirements.txt` File**:

   ```text
   micropython-urequests
   micropython-ujson
   ```

2. **Install Dependencies via `mip`**:

   ```bash
   mip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. **Transfer the `om2m_client` Package**:
   - Similar to Method 1, ensure the `om2m_client` directory is on your MicroPython device.

> **Note**: The standard `pip` or `setup.py` mechanism does **not** typically work on microcontrollers.

## Quick Start

This example demonstrates how to use `om2m-client` in **either** Python or MicroPython environments.

```python
from om2m_client import OM2MClient, AE, Container, ContentInstance

# 1) Instantiate the OM2MClient
client = OM2MClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8282",  # OM2M base URL
    cse_id="mn-cse",
    cse_name="mn-name",
    username="admin",
    password="admin",
    use_json=True
)

# 2) Create an AE
ae = AE(rn="myDeviceAE", api="app-sample", rr=False, lbl=["test-device"])
ae_location = client.create_ae(ae)
print("Created AE at:", ae_location)

# 3) Create a Container under that AE
container_path = f"{client.cse_id}/{client.cse_name}/myDeviceAE"
container = Container(rn="DATA", lbl=["sensor/data"])
cnt_location = client.create_container(container_path, container)
print("Created Container at:", cnt_location)

# 4) Create a ContentInstance (sensor reading)
cin_path = f"{client.cse_id}/{client.cse_name}/myDeviceAE/DATA"
temperature_cin = ContentInstance(cnf="application/json", con='{"temperature": 23}')
cin_location = client.create_content_instance(cin_path, temperature_cin)
print("Created ContentInstance at:", cin_location)

# 5) Retrieve the latest data
latest = client.retrieve_latest_data("myDeviceAE", "DATA")
print("Latest data from 'myDeviceAE':", latest)
```

---

## Usage

### Creating and Retrieving Resources

#### 1. Application Entity (AE)

```python
from om2m_client import OM2MClient, AE

client = OM2MClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8282",
    cse_id="mn-cse",
    cse_name="mn-name",
    username="admin",
    password="admin",
    use_json=True
)

ae = AE(rn="MyAE", api="my-api", rr=False, lbl=["test-device"])
ae_location = client.create_ae(ae)
print("Created AE at:", ae_location)
```

#### 2. Container (CNT)

```python
from om2m_client import Container

parent_path = "mn-cse/mn-name/MyAE"
container = Container(rn="DATA", lbl=["sensor/data"])
cnt_location = client.create_container(parent_path, container)
print("Created Container at:", cnt_location)
```

#### 3. ContentInstance (CIN)

```python
from om2m_client import ContentInstance
import json

cin_path = "mn-cse/mn-name/MyAE/DATA"
cin = ContentInstance(cnf="application/json", con=json.dumps({"temperature": 25}))
cin_location = client.create_content_instance(cin_path, cin)
print("Created ContentInstance at:", cin_location)
```

#### 4. Subscription (SUB)

```python
from om2m_client import Subscription

sub_path = "mn-cse/mn-name/MyAE"
subscription = Subscription(rn="mySubscription", nu="http://notify-endpoint", nct=2)
sub_location = client.create_subscription(sub_path, subscription)
print("Created Subscription at:", sub_location)
```

### Retrieving Latest Data

Retrieve the **latest** `ContentInstance` for a given AE and Container (`DATA` by default):

```python
latest_cin = client.retrieve_latest_data(device_name="MyAE", container_name="DATA")
print("Latest ContentInstance:", latest_cin)
```

### Retrieving All Data from a Device

Retrieve **all** `ContentInstances` from a container and obtain a minimal JSON structure:

```python
all_data = client.retrieve_all_content_instances_minimal(device_name="MyAE", container_name="DATA")
print("All ContentInstances:", all_data)
```

### Replication (CPython Only)

**Note**: The replication function is **not** available in MicroPython. Attempting to use it in MicroPython will raise a `NotImplementedError`.

```python
import sys
from om2m_client import OM2MClient

# Ensure the environment is CPython
if sys.implementation.name != "micropython":
    source_client = OM2MClient(
        base_url="http://source-host:8282",
        cse_id="mn-cse",
        cse_name="mn-name",
        username="admin",
        password="admin",
        use_json=True
    )
    
    target_client = OM2MClient(
        base_url="http://target-host:8282",
        cse_id="mn-cse",
        cse_name="mn-name",
        username="admin",
        password="admin",
        use_json=True
    )
    
    # Retrieve all data from the source AE
    source_data = source_client.retrieve_all_content_instances_minimal(device_name="MyAE")
    
    # Replicate data to the target client
    source_client.replicate_ae_data_from_minimal(
        minimal_data=source_data,
        target_client=target_client,
        container_name="DATA2"
    )
```

## Library Structure

```
om2m_client/
├── client.py            # Core OM2MClient class with CRUD methods
├── models.py            # Resource classes (AE, Container, ContentInstance, Subscription)
├── exceptions.py        # Custom exceptions (OM2MRequestError, etc.)
├── __init__.py          # Makes the folder a package
└── ... (additional files, if needed)
```

### Notable Files

- **`client.py`**  
  Contains the `OM2MClient` class, providing CRUD functions for **AE, Container, CIN, Subscription**, and helper methods (e.g., retrieving the latest data).

- **`models.py`**  
  Defines simple Python classes (`AE`, `Container`, `ContentInstance`, `Subscription`) to store resource attributes in a structured manner.

- **`exceptions.py`**  
  Provides custom exception classes for enhanced error handling.

---

## MicroPython vs CPython Differences

1. **Imports**:
   - **MicroPython**: Uses `urequests` and `ujson`.
   - **CPython**: Uses `requests` and `json`.
   
2. **Replication Function**:
   - **MicroPython**: `replicate_ae_data_from_minimal` is **not implemented** and will raise a `NotImplementedError`.
   - **CPython**: Fully functional, allowing replication of AEs and data to another OM2M instance.

3. **JSON Indentation**:
   - **MicroPython’s `ujson`** does not support `indent`. The library includes fallbacks to produce minimal JSON when running on MicroPython.

4. **Setup Tools**:
   - **MicroPython**: Does not support `pip install .` or typical `setup.py` usage. Manual file transfers or `mip` are required.
   - **CPython**: Supports standard `pip` and `setup.py` installations.
