Open Source Python JSON Serialization Libraries for Windows

Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. By Tom Preston-Werner, Pradyun Gedam, et al. TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages. TOML shares traits with other file formats used for application configuration and data serialization, such as YAML and JSON. TOML and JSON both are simple and use ubiquitous data types, making them easy to code for or parse with machines. TOML and YAML both emphasize human readability features, like comments that make it easier to understand the purpose of a given line. TOML differs in combining these, allowing comments (unlike JSON) but preserving simplicity (unlike YAML). Because TOML is explicitly intended as a configuration file format, parsing it is easy, but it is not intended for serializing arbitrary data structures.

DocArray is a library for nested, unstructured, multimodal data in transit, including text, image, audio, video, 3D mesh, etc. It allows deep-learning engineers to efficiently process, embed, search, recommend, store, and transfer multimodal data with a Pythonic API. Door to multimodal world: super-expressive data structure for representing complicated/mixed/nested text, image, video, audio, 3D mesh data. The foundation data structure of Jina, CLIP-as-service, DALL·E Flow, DiscoArt etc. Data science powerhouse: greatly accelerate data scientists’ work on embedding, k-NN matching, querying, visualizing, evaluating via Torch/TensorFlow/ONNX/PaddlePaddle on CPU/GPU. Data in transit: optimized for network communication, ready-to-wire at anytime with fast and compressed serialization in Protobuf, bytes, base64, JSON, CSV, DataFrame. Perfect for streaming and out-of-memory data. One-stop k-NN: Unified and consistent API for mainstream vector databases.

The 'jsondata' package provides for the modular in-memory processing of JSON data by trees, branches, pointers, and patches. The main interface classes are: - JSONData - Core for RFC7159 based data structures. Provides modular data components. - JSONDataSerializer - Core for RFC7159 based data persistence. Provides modular data serialization. - JSONPointer - RFC6901 for addressing by pointer paths. Provides pointer arithmetics. - JSON Relative Pointer - draft-handrews-relative-json-pointer/2018, contained in JSONPointer. - JSONPatch - RFC6902 for modification by patch lists. Provides the assembly of modular patch entries and the serialization of resulting patch lists. - JSONDiff - Diff utility for JSON data. - JSONSearch - Search utility JSON patterns.

Connexion is a framework on top of Flask that automagically handles HTTP requests defined using OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger), supporting both v2.0 and v3.0 of the specification. Connexion allows you to write these specifications, then maps the endpoints to your Python functions. This is what makes it unique from other tools that generate the specification based on your Python code. You are free to describe your REST API with as much detail as you want and then Connexion guarantees that it will work as you specified. We built Connexion this way in order to simplify the development process. Reduce misinterpretation about what an API is going to look like. With Connexion, you write the spec first. Connexion then calls your Python code, handling the mapping from the specification to the code. This incentivizes you to write the specification so that all of your developers can understand what your API does, even before you write a single line of code.

jsonfield is a reusable model field that allows you to store validated JSON, automatically handling serialization to and from the database. To use, add jsonfield.JSONField to one of your models. Note: django.contrib.postgres now supports PostgreSQL's jsonb type, which includes extended querying capabilities. If you're an end user of PostgreSQL and want full-featured JSON support, then it is recommended that you use the built-in JSONField. However, jsonfield is still useful when your app needs to be database-agnostic, or when the built-in JSONField's extended querying is not being leveraged. e.g., a configuration field. JSONField is not intended to provide extended querying capabilities. That said, you may perform the same basic lookups provided by regular text fields (e.g., exact or regex lookups). Since values are stored as serialized JSON, it is highly recommended that you test your queries to ensure the expected results are returned.
