serde 0.6.1

Define, serialize, deserialize, and validate Python data structures.

Serde is a lightweight, general-purpose, powerful ORM framework for defining, serializing, deserializing, and validating data structures in Python.

Getting started

Install this package with

pip install serde

Example usage

Define your data structures in a clean and obvious way.

>>> from serde import Model, fields

>>> class Dog(Model):
...     name = fields.Str()
...     hates_cats = fields.Optional(fields.Bool, default=True)

>>> class Owner(Model):
...     name = fields.Str()
...     birthday = fields.Date()
...     dog = fields.Nested(Dog)

Easily serialize and deserialize arbitrary data to and from Python objects.

>>> owner = Owner.from_json('''{
...     "name": "Paris Hilton",
...     "birthday": "1981-02-17",
...     "dog": {"name": "Tinkerbell"}
... }''')

>>> owner.name
'Paris Hilton'
>>> owner.birthday
datetime.date(1981, 2, 17)
>>> owner.dog
Dog(name='Tinkerbell', hates_cats=True)
