Quickle is no longer maintained

quickle was an interesting experiment, but I no longer believe this to be a good idea. For users looking for a fast and flexible serialization library for Python, I recommend using msgspec instead. Everything quickle could do, msgspec can do better and faster, all while using standardized protocols (JSON and MessagePack currently), rather than something Python-specific like Pickle. See the docs for more information.

The original README is below:

quickle is a fast and small serialization format for a subset of Python types. It's based off of Pickle, but includes several optimizations and extensions to provide improved performance and security. For supported types, serializing a message with quickle can be ~2-10x faster than using pickle.
