It accepts custom prefix maps or loads standard ones from the web (bioregistry, GO, OBO, etc.) and provides both a Python API and a command-line interface. The library uses a trie data structure for efficient lookups and can run as a web resolver or mapper using Flask or FastAPI.\n\nThe package is designed for semantic web and biomedical ontology work where URIs need compact representation for readability and transmission. It requires Pydantic v2 (as of v0.8) and depends on pystow for data caching. The CLI supports multiple pre-defined prefix maps and custom formats, making it useful for both one-off conversions and long-running web services.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, minimal install friction, and a permissive license. It solves a specific and well-defined problem in semantic web and biomedical data work. Install it if you need reliable CURIE\u2013URI conversion; skip it only if you don't work with prefixed identifiers."},"id":"curies","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/curies","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/curies.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/curies/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"curies","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Idiomatic conversion between URIs and compact URIs (CURIEs)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":491496,"position":6364,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.15.0"}
