django-cerial

Fields for storing serializable data.

What makes this different from other implementations available?

• This implementation deserializes only when necessary. Deserializing is done on field access rather than on model instance creation. Serializing is done right before saving the model instance.
• There is a test suite

Requirements

• 2.5 <= Python < 3
• Django

Installation

pip install django-cerial

JSONField

Serializes data as JSON. Example:

from django.db import models
from cerial import JSONField

class Entry(models.Model):
    data = JSONField()

PickleField

Serializes data using cPickle. Example:

from django.db import models
from cerial import PickleField

class Entry(models.Model):
    data = PickleField()
