- Full **keypath** support *(using the dot syntax by default)*
- Easy **I/O operations** with most common formats: `json`, `toml`, `xml`, `yaml`
- Many **utility** and **parse methods** to retrieve data as needed *(all methods listed below)*
- Give **benediction** :) to `dict` values before they are returned *(they receive benedict casting)*
- Well **tested**, check the badges ;)
- 100% **backward-compatible** *(you can replace existing dicts without pain)*
