Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

JSON in data science projects: tips & tricks
orjson is the fastest JSON library available for python. It natively manages dataclass objects, datetime, numpy and UUID objects.

Litestar 2.0
As we began venturing down that road, a few things emerged that would constitute significant changes to some of the core parts of Litestar, but there were two things in particular that started a chain reaction of changes by opening up further possibilities: The new DTOs and our switch from orjson to msgspec.

Starlite development updates January ’23
In version 1.45.0, we introduced msgspec as our serialization backend, replacing orjson. This had some immediate performance benefits, but that's not the main reason we made the switch.

Benchmarking Python JSON serializers - json vs ujson vs orjson
For most cases, you would want to go with python’s standard json library which removes dependencies on other libraries. On other hand you could try out ujsonwhich is simple replacement for python’s json library. If you want more speed and also want dataclass, datetime, numpy, and UUID instances and you are ready to deal with more complex code, then you can try your hands on orjson
- The fastest tool for querying large JSON files is written in Python (benchmark)

BetterJSONStorage - faster 'Storage Type' for TinyDB.
BetterJSONStorage is a faster 'Storage Type' for TinyDB. It uses treading, the faster Orjson library for parsing the JSON and BLOSC2 for compression.

Litestar 2.0
Full support for validation and serialisation of attrs classes and msgspec Structs. Where previously only Pydantic models and types where supported, you can now mix and match any of these three libraries. In addition to this, adding support for another modelling library has been greatly simplified with the new plugin architecture

FastAPI 0.100.0:Release Notes
> Maybe it was very slow before
That is at least partly the case. I maintain msgspec[1], another Python JSON validation library. Pydantic V1 was ~100x slower at encoding/decoding/validating JSON than msgspec, which was more a testament to Pydantic's performance issues than msgspec's speed. Pydantic V2 is definitely faster than V1, but it's still ~10x slower than msgspec, and up to 2x slower than other pure-python implementations like mashumaro.
Recent benchmark here: https://gist.github.com/jcrist/d62f450594164d284fbea957fd48b...

Pydantic 2.0
While it's definitely much faster than pydantic V1 (which is a huge accomplishment!), it's still not exactly what I'd call "fast".
I maintain msgspec (https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec), a serialization/validation library which provides similar functionality to pydantic. Recent benchmarks of pydantic V2 against msgspec show msgspec is still 15-30x faster at JSON encoding, and 6-15x faster at JSON decoding/validating.
Benchmark (and conversation with Samuel) here: https://gist.github.com/jcrist/d62f450594164d284fbea957fd48b...
This is not to diminish the work of the pydantic team! For many users pydantic will be more than fast enough, and is definitely a more feature-filled tool. It's a good library, and people will be happy using it! But pydantic is not the only tool in this space, and rubbing some rust on it doesn't necessarily make it "fast".

Pydantic V2 rewritten in Rust is 5-50x faster than Pydantic V1
Congratulations to the team, Pydantic is an amazing library.
If you find JSON serialization/deserialization a bottleneck, another interesting library (with much less features) for Python is msgspec: https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec

Starlite updates March '22 | 2.0 is coming
This feature is yet to be released, but it will allow you to seamlessly use data modelled with for example Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, msgspec or dataclasses in your route handlers, without the need for an intermediary model; The conversion will be handled by the specific DTO "backend" implementation. This new paradigm also makes it trivial to add support for any such modelling library, by simply implementing an appropriate backend.

Show HN: Up to 100x Faster FastAPI with simdjson and io_uring on Linux 5.19
If you're primarily targeting Python as an application layer, you may also want to check out my msgspec library[1]. All the perf benefits of e.g. yyjson, but with schema validation like pydantic. It regularly benchmarks[2] as the fastest JSON library for Python. Much of the overhead of decoding JSON -> Python comes from the python layer, and msgspec employs every trick I know to minimize that overhead.
What are some alternatives?
ujson
pydantic - Data validation using Python type hints
ormsgpack - Msgpack serialization/deserialization library for Python, written in Rust using PyO3 and rust-msgpack. Reboot of orjson. msgpack.org[Python]
pysimdjson - Python bindings for the simdjson project.
fastapi - FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
mashumaro - Fast and well tested serialization library

dacite - Simple creation of data classes from dictionaries.
MessagePack - MessagePack serializer implementation for Java / msgpack.org[Java]
