# lia-web — This package has been renamed to cross-web. Install cross-web instead.

License: permissive · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 512.0K/mo

## What it is and what it does

lia-web is a renamed package that now exists only as a compatibility layer. The original lia-web has been renamed to cross-web, and this package depends on cross-web to re-export its symbols under the lia namespace. It is intended only for existing code that has not yet migrated to the new name; the package is inactive and receives no updates.

For any new project, you should install cross-web directly and import from cross_web instead. The lia-web package will not receive further development and is maintained only to avoid breaking existing imports during a transition period.

Use it for:

- Maintaining legacy code that imports from lia without immediately updating all import statements to cross_web.
- Gradual migration of a large codebase from lia-web to cross-web by installing both packages temporarily.
- Ensuring CI/CD pipelines do not break during a package rename transition before all imports are updated.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

lia-web is a deprecated shim package that re-exports cross-web under the lia namespace for backwards compatibility; new users should install cross-web directly instead.

No, not for new projects. lia-web is inactive and exists only as a deprecated redirect to cross-web. Install cross-web directly instead. Use lia-web only if you are maintaining legacy code that has not yet migrated to the new package name, and plan to remove it as soon as imports are updated.

## Install

pip install lia-web
uv add lia-web
poetry add lia-web

## Installing lia-web

Before you install: Low install friction, but the package is marked inactive (Development Status 7) and has not been updated in 232 days. It exists only as a compatibility bridge to cross-web and should not be used for new projects.

License in practice: Licensed under MIT (permissive), so there are no licensing restrictions on use or redistribution.

Quickstart:

# Install (not recommended for new projects)
pip install lia-web

# Old import (still works via re-export)
from lia import Response

# Recommended: use cross-web directly instead
pip install cross-web
from cross_web import Response

Requires Python >= 3.9; however, new code should use cross-web directly rather than lia-web.

Verify before relying:

- Whether cross-web itself is actively maintained and suitable for new development.
- Whether the backwards-compatibility re-export in lia-web is complete or if some symbols from cross-web are missing.
