## 🤔 What is this?

This library defines the base interface for LangGraph checkpointers. Checkpointers provide a persistence layer for LangGraph: they save graph state at every superstep, enabling human-in-the-loop, memory between interactions, durable execution, and more.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Defines the base interface and serialization protocol for LangGraph checkpointers, which persist graph state at every step to enable human-in-the-loop workflows, memory between interactions, and durable execution.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained library providing the checkpoint interface layer for LangGraph. MIT-licensed and low-friction to install, it's suitable for production use but requires explicit security configuration for checkpoint deserialization to prevent arbitrary code execution.
