When should I use Pydantic over standard dataclasses?

Use Pydantic when you require automatic data validation, complex JSON serialization, or are building API models. Standard dataclasses are preferred for simple internal data containers where performance is a priority and external validation is unnecessary.

Does this skill support immutable data structures?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for using 'frozen=True' in both standard dataclasses and Pydantic to ensure data integrity through immutability.

Does it include support for the attrs library?

Absolutely. It includes comprehensive examples of attrs-specific features like validators and converters which offer more flexibility than the standard library.

How does this skill handle mutable default values?

The skill demonstrates the correct use of default_factory for fields like lists or dictionaries to avoid the common Python pitfall of shared mutable defaults.
