getting record data to output as json

[junkb]

hi-

i'm working on a small program to perform a zone transfer, then process the results, ultimately writing to json files. ultimately, my goal is to create a single file per label, with the data structured as is shown in the below pastebin on lines 36-53 and 58-76.

how should i do this? with my testing so far, i'm able to print record data to stdout [lines 29-34], but i'm not sure how to get just the type and rdata values, and also not sure if using get_node is really the right way to do this.

any advice or guidance would be appreciated - thanks!

Your code would need to iterate the rdatasets in the node, and the individual records in each rdataset. This should be a reasonable starting point.

for (name, node) in zone.items():
    print(name)
    for rdset in node:
        type = rdset.rdtype
        print(f'{dns.rdatatype.to_text(rdset.rdtype)}')
        for rr in rdset:
            print(f'rr {rr}')
    print()
