serialization/validation for common data interchange formats

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

msgspec is a fast serialization and validation library, with builtin support for JSON, MessagePack, YAML, and TOML. It features: - High performance encoders/decoders for common protocols. The JSON and MessagePack implementations regularly benchmark as the fastest options for Python. - Support for a wide variety of Python types. Additional types may be supported through extensions. - Zero-cost schema validation using familiar Python type annotations. In benchmarks msgspec decodes and validates JSON faster than orjson can decode it alone. - A speedy Struct type for representing structured data. If you already use dataclasses or attrs, structs should feel familiar. However, they're 5-60x faster for common operations.
