Extensions to attrs

The following libraries build on attrs to provide additional functionality:

• 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

• clout: Build command-line interfaces with attrs classes.

• marshmallow-attrs: Marshmallow serialization for attrs classes.

• desert: DRY deserialization for dataclasses and attrs classes.

• 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

• serde: a performant serialization / deserialization extension to and from plain dicts.

• 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.

• datargs: A paper-thin wrapper around argparse that creates type-safe parsers from dataclass and attrs classes.
