It works like pickle but with unpickling happening client-side in JavaScript rather than in Python.\n\nThe library lets you keep business logic on the server while building rich client-side interfaces. You register Python classes with corresponding JavaScript implementations, then telepath handles the packing and unpacking. It has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making setup straightforward for Django projects. However, maintenance is dormant as of the fact sheet date\u2014the last release was 2023-06-12\u2014so it receives no active development or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively maintaining a Django project and need Python-to-JavaScript data exchange without external APIs. The library is stable, has no dependencies, and works well for server-side-heavy Django apps. No, if you require active maintenance, security updates, or are building new projects\u2014consider modern alternatives like REST APIs with frontend frameworks instead. Yes-with-conditions if your Django version and Python 3.8+ support are locked in and you accept dormant maintenance."},"id":"telepath","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/telepath","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/telepath.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/telepath/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"telepath","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library for exchanging data between Python and JavaScript"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":884563,"position":4813,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
