It provides `loads()` and `dumps()` functions to convert between Hjson text and Python objects, plus `dumpsJSON()` to output strict JSON. The package has no runtime dependencies and works as a pure Python library.\n\nIt's useful when you want JSON-like data structures but need the flexibility of comments and relaxed syntax for configuration files or hand-edited data. The package includes a command-line tool for converting between Hjson and JSON formats. However, maintenance is aging\u2014the last release was in 2022\u2014so it may not receive updates for newer Python versions or security issues.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Hjson support and accept the aging maintenance status. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries no install friction. However, verify that it supports your target Python version, since classifiers only list up to 3.5 and the last release was 2022; for modern Python projects, confirm compatibility before committing to it."},"id":"hjson","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hjson","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hjson.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hjson/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"hjson","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Hjson, a user interface for JSON."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5543005,"position":2078,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1.0"}
