The following libraries build on attrs to provide additional functionality or have special support for attrs classes:
- attrs2bin: Binary serializer for attrs-based classes.
- attrs-strict: runtime validation for attributes specified in attrs dataclasses based on the
type
field provided. - bfa: Builders for attrs
- cattrs: for structuring and unstructuring data
- datargs: A paper-thin wrapper around
argparse
that creates type-safe parsers fromdataclass
and attrs classes. - desert: DRY deserialization for dataclasses and attrs classes.
- marshmallow-attrs: Marshmallow serialization for attrs classes.
- msgspec: fast serialization and validation library, with builtin support for JSON, MessagePack, YAML, and TOML – and first-class support for attrs
- prettyprinter: an extensible alternative to
pprint
comes with attrs support. - related: for creating nested object models that can be serialized to and de-serialized from nested python dictionaries
- Rich supports pretty-printing of attrs classes.
- serde: a performant serialization / deserialization extension to and from plain dicts.
- spock: lightweight typed and stateful parameter configuration library (mainly for ML) that wraps attrs
- typecats: Make attrs classes act more like structural (rather than nominal) typing; built on top of cattrs.
- valid8: provides an alternate way to add validation to attributes, supporting various coding styles to define your validation functions and validation exception types/messages
- yasoo: Serializes and deserializes attrs and
dataclass
objects without relying on type hints.
