Data Class Serialization The Right Way
summary
Covers how to serialize and persist Python data classes, comparing libraries like pickle, jsonpickle, PyYAML and marshmallow, and showing why Pydantic provides a more precise approach. Explains serialization mechanics in dynamic languages, demonstrates the specific issue of deserializing subclasses, and walks through progressively improved solutions using Pydantic to handle complex data structures.
