But dataclasses with type annotations can express a complete JSON Schema. Or, of course, in an ad hoc schema only published in human readable form, as most web APIs use today. > You can already jsonpickle data classes.

Again, the fact that type annotations are insufficient to represent semantic triples is irrelevant. They are sufficient for the case of writing code to parse what YouTube gives you, or to provide a documented API that you design to be consumed by other people in JS, or to generate a JSON Schema from your legacy collection of classes that you can then publish, or to validate that a dataclass hierarchy matches a published schema, and so on. All of which are useful. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/XDJELGTCVSDHFNPQA6556CUWC5XUCXTW/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
