        **marshmallow** is an ORM/ODM/framework-agnostic library for converting complex datatypes, such as objects, to and from native Python datatypes.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from datetime import date
            from marshmallow import Schema, fields, pprint
        
            class ArtistSchema(Schema):
                name = fields.Str()
        
            class AlbumSchema(Schema):
                title = fields.Str()
                release_date = fields.Date()
                artist = fields.Nested(ArtistSchema())
        
            bowie = dict(name='David Bowie')
            album = dict(artist=bowie, title='Hunky Dory', release_date=date(1971, 12, 17))
        
            schema = AlbumSchema()
            result = schema.dump(album)
            pprint(result.data, indent=2)
            # { 'artist': {'name': 'David Bowie'},
            #   'release_date': '1971-12-17',
            #   'title': 'Hunky Dory'}
        
        
        In short, marshmallow schemas can be used to:
        
        - **Validate** input data.
        - **Deserialize** input data to app-level objects.
        - **Serialize** app-level objects to primitive Python types. The serialized objects can then be rendered to standard formats such as JSON for use in an HTTP API.

            $ pip install -U marshmallow
        
        
        Documentation
        =============
        
        Full documentation is available at http://marshmallow.readthedocs.io/ .
        
        Requirements
        ============
        
        - Python >= 2.6 or >= 3.4
        
        marshmallow has no external dependencies outside of the Python standard library, although `python-dateutil <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil>`_ is recommended for robust datetime deserialization.
