j-classify 1.0.0

Improved JSON deserialization for Python

j_classify

Improved JSON deserializer for Python that allows for remapping to custom object types and nested objects. This allows for saving/loading complex Python objects, like using pickle while still preserving them in a human-readable format.

Installation

pip install j_classify

Usage

import json

import j_classify


class test_class_1(j_classify.j_object):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.name = "test_class_1"
