jsonalias
A microlibrary that defines a Json
type alias for Python.
This README is longer than the library
Seriously, this is all the code:
from typing import Dict, List, Union
Json = Union[Dict[str, "Json"], List["Json"], str, int, float, bool, None]
If we only supported Python >= 3.10, it would fit on one line:
Json = dict[str, 'Json'] | list['Json'] | str | int | float | bool | None
Then why make a library out of it?
I want to use this type alias in multiple projects and it's
just about long enough to be annoying.
This alias should probably get added to the Python typing
module.
If it does and I haven't put a big notice on this README,
please open a PR.
Example
from jsonalias import Json
d: Json = {"foo": ["bar", {"x": "y"}]}
It's not working please help???
Make sure you're using mypy >= 0.981 and running with the
--enable-recursive-aliases
flag.
Special Thanks
GitHub user wbolster for this comment
notifying us that mypy could now do JSON.
