It is a maintained fork of the Bunch package, designed to provide JavaScript-like object syntax for Python dictionaries while remaining fully compatible with dict methods and operations.\n\nThe package supports nested Munch objects, serialization to JSON and YAML (when those libraries are available), and variants like DefaultMunch and DefaultFactoryMunch for handling missing keys. It is pure Python, requires only importlib-metadata at runtime, and works across Python 3.6 through 3.11. The codebase is stable and production-ready, though development is dormant.","worth_installing":"Yes. Munch is a small, stable, permissively licensed utility with zero security vulnerabilities and low install friction. It solves a real usability problem (dict attribute access) cleanly and is widely deployed. The dormant maintenance is not a concern for a mature, feature-complete package. Install it if you want to reduce dict-bracket noise in your codebase."},"id":"munch","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/munch","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/munch.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/munch/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"munch","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A dot-accessible dictionary (a la JavaScript objects)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3293513,"position":2670,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.0"}
