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

A Sphinx extension that serializes HTML documentation output into JSON and pickle formats for programmatic access and processing.

Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies. Marked dormant (745 days since last release), though the repository remains active with a recent commit in October 2024; suitable for stable, maintenance-light use cases.

Licensed under BSD (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install sphinxcontrib-serializinghtml==2.0.0

# In conf.py, add to extensions list:
extensions = ['sphinxcontrib.serializinghtml']

Requires Python 3.9 or later; intended for use within a Sphinx documentation project.

Verdict: A stable, production-ready Sphinx extension with zero dependencies and permissive licensing. Dormancy (no release in 745 days) is typical for mature, feature-complete tools; the October 2024 repository commit confirms ongoing maintenance. Safe for projects needing serialized HTML output formats.

Needs verification

Whether the extension is actively maintained by the Sphinx project or has been superseded by built-in functionality.
Real-world usage frequency and whether the JSON/pickle output formats remain widely adopted in the Sphinx ecosystem.
