The "strange" validation that msgspec does is completely on purpose and it fits very well with how I typically use it. Validations at runtime should, IMO, be a last resort as it slows everything down. It's only applied upon decoding, where it's really needed. Everything else is much better handled ahead of time by other libraries like mypy.

Using it for quite a while already. Great piece of software, highly recommended.

Used it in two projects, it's great

Great video. Thanks

Just to clarify the writing modes are binary and text(default), where binary mode returns byte object.

According to my experience from a project it gets additional speedups if you use the provided Decoder or encoder classes.

Which provided classes sorry?

@@Carberra you can init a decoder/encoder instance and re-use it. Moreover you can set a decoder/encoder to a specific struct increasing performance even more. dec = msgspec.json.Decoder() dec.decode(msg) say you have some defined msgspec.Struct called ResponseMsg dec = msgspec.json.Decoder(type=ResponseMsg, strict=True) this will decode the json into the ResponseMsg struct and raises an error if the json doesnt comply with your defined struct.

Oooh I see. That's really neat actually!

Thanks.

Hi ! Great video, very concise and interesting ! I'm kind of curious about the validator section tho, you can instantiate Structs with bad values but can't dump them. The only workaround I've seen for this is to implement a __post__init method and writing custom logic, but that's not ideal. Do you know if there's other ways to do this ? Thanks !

As far as I can tell it's the only way, short of contributing something. It does strike me as somewhat of an intentional decision though, which is a bit annoying.

Esmerald python web framework has this built in with msgspec and is a very fun to work with😊😊

Used it for some time, but the hinting in Struct classes was just not working for me in Pycharm

Using with open to write bytes instead of pathlib's Path...you will be in big trouble😬 jk hahaha Great video! Great tool!

Tbh I typically prefer Path's methods haha. Glad you liked the video!

Do you know how to setup loading json into object if the json has nodes names same as keywords? Eg "class". How would you define that struct?

You'd probably need to use aliases.

so was one of the points that pydantic validator is safer?

If you instantiate the class yeah, though if you encode/decode directly, or use a post_init hook, it works similarly.
