---

pyparcel is the simple and secure way to convert python objects to [`bytestrings`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes). pyparcel extends the usage of [`struct`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/struct.html) and provides a simpler way to load classes and [built-in types](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html).

## Installation

Use the package manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) to install pyparcel:

```bash
pip install pyparcel
```
or using [pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/):
```bash
pipenv install pyparcel
```

## Usage

```python
import pyparcel

foo: Foo = Foo(8, 5.7, "Hello World") # Foo(int, float, str)
data: bytes = pyparcel.load(foo) # b'\x08\x00\x00\x00ff\xb6@\x0b\x00\x00\x00Hello World'

# ...

bar: Foo = Foo()
pyparcel.unload(data, bar) # foo == bar
# or
baz: Foo = pyparcel.unload(data, Foo()) # foo == baz

```
