objpy

objpy is a Python library designed to facilitate object-oriented programming patterns, particularly in scenarios where data serialization and deserialization are key. It aims to simplify the process of working with structured data that can be represented as Python objects. The library provides mechanisms for defining classes and then mapping incoming data, often in formats like JSON or dictionaries, to instances of these classes. This can be particularly useful when interacting with APIs or databases that return data in a structured, but not directly object-oriented, format.

The core functionality of objpy revolves around its ability to define schemas for your objects. These schemas specify the expected attributes, their data types, and potentially default values. When data is provided, objpy can then validate it against the defined schema and construct a corresponding Python object. This validation helps in catching errors early and ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, objpy often includes features for serializing these Python objects back into common data formats, making it a versatile tool for both reading and writing structured data. Its design emphasizes clarity and ease of use for developers who want to leverage object-oriented principles with external data sources.
