It works with dataclasses, attrs classes, and plain Python objects without requiring changes to your class definitions. The library handles common types (datetime, date, time, timezone, timedelta, Decimal, Path) and supports generic types like List and Dict with type hints.\n\nYou use it by calling jsons.dump() to serialize an instance to a dict, and jsons.load() to deserialize a dict back into a typed object. It's designed to be customizable and extendable, with support for complex nested structures and optional type-aware validation. The single runtime dependency is typish, and installation is straightforward.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward object-to-JSON serialization for dataclasses or attrs without boilerplate. The library is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but be aware it is dormant (last release 2022-06-09, last commit 2023-12-29). It works well for current Python versions and common use cases, but may not receive updates for future language features. Install it if your project's Python version and dependencies are stable; avoid it if you need active maintenance or cutting-edge typing support."},"id":"jsons","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsons","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsons.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jsons/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jsons","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"For serializing Python objects to JSON (dicts) and back"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1471741,"position":3867,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.3"}
