Could you build this?
Yes A custom Python JSON serializer/deserializer handling common non-standard types (dates, UUIDs, dataclasses) is a straightforward library project easily generated with AI assistance.
Discussion
14 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Pydantic, msgspec, safeserialize, Python's built-in json module
Concerns raised: Unclear how novel vs derivative of Pydantic/msgspec, Pydantic handles dataclasses and gotcha cases just as well, JSON number precision loss with float coercion, Performance compared to Pydantic's json reader/writer, Code formatting broken on Medium, reduces confidence
Feature requests: Clear comparison section: Pydantic model_dump_json() vs Jsonic, Warning in README about arbitrary code execution with untrusted inputs, Safe JSON number handling by default without precision loss
