Kim

I added Kim to my ongoing set of python serialization framework benchmarks here is how it ranks. ``` Library Many Objects One Object --------------------- --------------…

One of the things we felt very strongly about when developing Kim was that Simple things should be simple. Complex things should be possible. To that end the Pipeline system…

We are really looking for serialization libraries that will work with pandas and scikit. This stuff is really all over the place - PMML, Arrow, Dill, pickle. Some stuff won't…

Thanks for expanding on that mhneu. So our primary focus with Kim has certainly been around serializing/marshaling JSON though we've used it for plenty of other uses cases. It's…

Cool project! In the case of serialization libraries,unless you are validating as part of your (de)serialization, I'd recommend avoiding schema-driven serialization libraries.…

Yes, this is possible as long as the second level nested object has a role to stop infinite recursion from occurring. Cycles are not automatically detected. ``` class…

Sorry, I must be harsh. No. This fundamentally doesn't offer much advantage over a .toJSON() instance method and a .fromJSON() class method. Don't say "security-focused" if you…

That's not a solution as it will not restore the same object graph, it will just repeat values. One way is to to store a table of objects (as identified by id()) encountered…

Obviously no OS developer owes anybody an explanation, but man would I appreciate if more projects had a "why you should use this over related projects" (like e.g. pendulum does…

Python's data infrastructure has a huge problem: serialization and thus saving data results. A good serialization library should serialize: ``` - classes/objects (best practice:…

Cool! Are there any speed comparisons available between this and marshmallow (or other alternatives)?

It does look like marshmalllow[1]. How does relate Kim with it? [1]: https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow/

Nice, but I recommend closing issues https://github.com/mikeywaites/kim/issues which have fixes (some of them show 'merge'). It's one thing I as a user look at choosing whether…

Can it serialize cycles?

Roughly speaking, by cycles I mean a structure that refers to itself somehow. For example: ``` A = {} B = {} A["ref"] = B B["ref"] = A ``` So would it be possible to serialize A…

So this takes JSON and maps it to namedtuples? Silly question, what happens with Unicode?

So stuff like this or marshmallow is more for cases when you have some database / ORM objects and you want to serialize them out to a json object, or you want to process…

To expand on fnord, to my knowledge, pickle handles all of these things. Its still a bad solution, but it does everything you want. ``` pickle.dump(f, anyobject) anyobject =…

why not pickle :) :)
