This Pythonic library provides a framework for serializing/deserializing Python classes to and from JSON and XML.

It relies upon the use of Python Properties in your Python classes.

Read the full [documentation][link_rtfd] for more details.

Installation

Install this from [PyPi.org][link_pypi] using your preferred Python package manager.

Example using pip:

pip install py-serializable

Example using poetry:

poetry add py-serializable

Usage

See the full [documentation][link_rtfd] or our [unit tests][link_unit_tests] for usage and details.

Python Support

We endeavour to support all functionality for all current actively supported Python versions. However, some features may not be possible/present in older Python versions due to their lack of support.

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

py-serializable provides a framework for converting Python classes to and from JSON and XML by leveraging Python Properties, enabling easy serialization and deserialization of object hierarchies.

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (defusedxml). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-04-15 and latest release 2025-07-21 indicate ongoing support.

Apache-2.0 is permissive, allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you must retain license notices and may modify and redistribute freely.

Usage

pip install py-serializable

from py_serializable import serializable_property

class MyClass:
    @serializable_property(str)
    def name(self) -> str:
        return self._name

Requires Python 3.8 or later (supports up to 3.13); relies on defusedxml for XML parsing.

Verdict: py-serializable is a stable, actively maintained library for JSON/XML serialization backed by a permissive Apache-2.0 license and minimal dependencies. No known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and broad Python version support (3.8–3.13) make it a low-risk choice for object serialization workflows.
