Python's dataclasses provide a clean way to represent structured data. Our JSON to Python generator creates type-annotated dataclasses from your JSON data, perfect for API integrations.

Why Use Dataclasses?

Type Hints: Enable IDE autocomplete and static analysis
Less Boilerplate: Auto-generated __init__, __repr__, __eq__
Immutability: Use frozen=True for immutable instances
Default Values: Easy defaults with field()

Example Generation

Input JSON:

{
  "id": 1,
  "username": "johndoe",
  "is_active": true,
  "score": 95.5
}

Generated Python:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List, Optional

@dataclass
class Root:
    id: int
    username: str
    is_active: bool
    score: float

Type Mappings

JSON strings → str
JSON integers → int
JSON floats → float
JSON booleans → bool
JSON null → None
JSON arrays → List[Type]
JSON objects → Nested dataclasses

Working with Generated Code

import json
from dataclasses import asdict

# Parse JSON to dataclass
data = json.loads(json_string)
user = Root(**data)

# Access typed properties
print(user.username)  # IDE knows this is str

# Convert back to dict/JSON
json.dumps(asdict(user))
