# Classy-JSON   
*`dict.key` (Dot access) for Python dictionaries*
## How do I use Classy-JSON?
* Classy-JSON can be used nearly identically to the regular built-in json module! [json module docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html)
* The only differences are that you can now access dictionaries via `dict.key` as well as `dict['key']`, and that the `.copy()` method is now a deep copy.
* What seperates Classy-JSON and its custom data structures from other alternatives? Classy-JSON is both better in its speed and package size, other similiar packages have unecessary code and just aren't as fast as Classy-JSON
## Example Usage
```py
import classyjson as cj
# load data from a json file
with open('tests/test_large.json', 'r') as f:
data = cj.load(f)
# turn a regular dictionary into a ClassyDict
my_dict = {'a': 'b'}
my_classy_dict = cj.classify(my_dict)
print(my_classy_dict.a)
# or
my_classy_dict = cj.ClassyDict(my_dict)
print(my_classy_dict.a)
# make a new ClassyDict
new_classy_dict = cj.ClassyDict()
new_classy_dict.a = 'b'
```
