[Python Edinburgh] JSON mapping library - recommendations?

[Dougal Matthews]

I can't say that I know of any. 


However, I can't help but think, what the hell are you doing? :) You want JSON to have a schema. Isn't this exactly what XML was intended for any why many people hate it?


I'd be interested to hear the use case for this. I can only imagine its because JSON is coming from somewhere externally? Is this for an API?
