  Description     : Fast serialization and validation library

A fast serialization and validation library, with builtin support for JSON,
MessagePack, YAML, and TOML.
.
 * High performance encoders/decoders for common protocols. The JSON and
   MessagePack implementations regularly benchmark as the fastest options for
   Python.
 * Support for a wide variety of Python types. Additional types may be
   supported through extensions.
 * Zero-cost schema validation using familiar Python type annotations. In
   benchmarks msgspec decodes and validates JSON faster than orjson can decode
   it alone.
 * A speedy Struct type for representing structured data. If you already use
   dataclasses or attrs, structs should feel familiar. However, they're 5-60x
   faster for common operations.
.
All of this is included in a lightweight library with no required
dependencies.

I will maintain this package as part of the Python team.
