Instead of relying on Marshmallow's reflection-heavy approach, it introspects your schema once and produces fast, specialized code paths for dump and load operations. The package is a maintained fork of the abandoned Toasted Marshmallow project, updated to work with modern Marshmallow versions (3.13+) without requiring modifications to Marshmallow itself.\n\nYou enable it by either inheriting from JitSchema instead of Schema, calling deep_fry_marshmallow() globally to patch all schemas, or using the JitSchemaMixin for custom base classes. It also supports a plugin system for custom field inliners and JIT behaviors. The generated code optimistically assumes valid input and falls back to standard Marshmallow behavior on errors, so it's designed to be a drop-in replacement with no API changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you have a Marshmallow-based codebase where serialization is a measured bottleneck and you can test the speedup on your actual schemas. The low install friction and permissive license make adoption easy. However, the aging maintenance status (10 stars, last commit 2025-09-03) and modest adoption signal mean you should verify compatibility with your Marshmallow version and monitor the project for future updates before relying on it in production."},"id":"deepfriedmarshmallow","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/deepfriedmarshmallow","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/deepfriedmarshmallow.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/deepfriedmarshmallow/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"DeepFriedMarshmallow","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A plug-and-play JIT implementation for Marshmallow to speed up data serialization and deserialization"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":195561,"position":9813,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.2"}
