It provides two main interfaces: a simple loads/dumps API mirroring the standard library's json module, and a lower-level abstract model API for advanced use cases like linting, formatting, and custom serialization.\n\nThe package is designed to preserve non-data elements (comments, formatting, identifier styles) during round-trip operations, so you can load JSON5, modify it programmatically, and dump it back while keeping the original structure intact. It depends on sly and regex and is actively maintained with support for Python 3.8 through 3.11.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive Apache license, and fills a genuine gap for JSON5 support in Python. It is well-suited for configuration parsing and round-trip editing. The abstract model API is marked unstable, so avoid it if you need long-term compatibility guarantees, but the core loads/dumps interface is stable as of v1.0.0."},"id":"json-five","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/json-five","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/json-five.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/json-five/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"json-five","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A JSON5 parser that, among other features, supports round-trip preservation of comments"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":143860,"position":11165,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.2"}
