Feature/json file http exporter #4556
Conversation
Add new packages for JSON-based OTLP exporters as alternatives to the existing Protobuf-based exporters: - opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-json-common: Common JSON encoding functionality - opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-json-http: HTTP transport implementation These exporters enable compatibility with services requiring JSON format instead of Protobuf. Implementation includes full support for traces, metrics, and logs with comprehensive test coverage following project guidelines. Closes open-telemetry#1003
Replace 'too-many-positional-arguments' with the correct pylint message ID 'too-many-arguments' and fix type ignore comments placement for imports without stubs.
Replace string representation of integers with actual integer values in the OTLP JSON exporters
to comply with the OTLP specification. This ensures integer attributes are properly encoded as
{intValue: 123} instead of {intValue: 123} for better compatibility with OTLP receivers.

Caveat: the spec mandates that arrays are homogeneous.
I don't have a strong opinion on what the expectation of the client-side library is: to actually raise on that, or skip the top-level key, or pass through.
Here's how I've done this:
| if isinstance(value, int): | ||
| return {"value": {"intValue": value}} |

Sadly that's incorrect.
Recall that JavaScript coerces large integers to floating point.
I believe this is spelled out in the OTLP spec.

@dimaqq Please pay attention to the original PR so the author can address the comments. |

You may consider using https://pypi.org/project/otlp-test-data/ , a small project I made to generate all conceivable "weird" input. That includes the JSON flavour of OTLP serialisation, to the best of my understanding. I could be wrong on some details, PRs are welcome :) |

@dimaqq Do you know whether trace and spans ids in http/json are base64 encoded? |
Do read https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otlp/#json-protobuf-encoding I mean I can answer your question off the top of my head, but then you'd miss the other half a dozen gotchas. |
Addition to #4470 to write the id as hex so they can be exported to files.
