With definition:

import jsrn

class Author(jsrn.Resource):
    name = jsrn.StringField()

class Publisher(jsrn.Resource):
    name = jsrn.StringField()

class Book(jsrn.Resource):
    title = jsrn.StringField()
    authors = jsrn.ArrayOf(Author)
    publisher = jsrn.ObjectAs(Publisher)
    genre = jsrn.StringField()
    num_pages = jsrn.IntegerField()
>>> b = Book(
        title="Consider Phlebas",
        genre="Space Opera",
        publisher=Publisher(name="Macmillan"),
        num_pages=471
    )
>>> b.authors.append(Author(name="Iain M. Banks"))
>>> jsrn.dumps(b, pretty_print=True)
{
    "$": "Book",
    "authors": [
        {
            "$": "Author",
            "name": "Iain M. Banks"
        }
    ],
    "genre": "Space Opera",
    "num_pages": 471,
