You define a class inheriting from jsonable.Type, implement an initialize method to set attributes, and gain to_json() and from_json() methods automatically. The library handles the round-trip: objects convert to plain dicts and back without manual encoder/decoder logic.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly. However, it is dormant\u2014the latest release was 2015-10-01, and there have been no updates since. This means it was designed for older Python versions and has received no maintenance for modern language features or security patches. It remains functional for simple use cases but is not actively developed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a minimal JSON serialization layer for simple, self-contained objects and are comfortable with dormant maintenance. No, if you require active support, modern Python version guarantees, or complex validation\u2014use dataclasses, pydantic, or marshmallow instead. The package works but has received no updates since 2015 and should be treated as legacy code."},"id":"jsonable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jsonable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-10-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jsonable","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An abstract class that supports jsonserialization/deserialization."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":247177,"position":8699,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
