But you could use whatever module to load json and then use typedload.

Having them integrated could be advantageous to save memory and avoid loading the full json first. Like loading the objects directly to their final destination as the json gets parsed. But that would be kinda complicated.

I have absolutely no idea why mine isn't so used, but my model of GPL license + pay me to get LGPL license probably doesn't help. But is not a factor if used for internal stuff.

apischema is my second favourite one and it also doesn't have many users. However it came later so that's an easier explanation.

I recently tried a similar library called jsons. I wanted to benchmark it but it was too buggy to do a meaningful comparison. Of course it has 8x more downloads :D I guess the users either have very basic use cases or prefer working around the issues rather than trying a different library.

Finding a decent library is not easy. I'm trying to convince my coworkers to just drop and rewrite a bad golang library they are using and working around a lot.

Ahh. It would be the license if I were to make the decision. Only because, if I were to use Python, performance must not be a big concern, so I would go for an alternative (albeit slower) library (which there isn't a shortage of) instead of paying for the non GPL license.

I think something else that might help is if you make it more prominent (if it's visible right now at all, since I can't find it) the message that tells people, at least, "contact me to arrange a different license", or at best, a pricing model.

Well now in 2022… in 2018 there was nothing else. It was (and still is) the only option on python 3.5 AFAIK.

Thanks for the advice, I guess I can put something about that.
