----

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](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?highlight=property#property) 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`:

```shell
pip install py-serializable
```

Example using `poetry`:

```shell
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](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
However, some features may not be possible/present in older Python versions due to their lack of support.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

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.

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.
