        **lima** takes arbitrary Python objects and converts them into data structures
        native to Python. The result can easily be serialized into JSON, XML, and all
        sorts of other things. lima is Free Software, lightweight and fast.
        
        
        lima at a Glance
        ================
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            import datetime
            import lima
        
            # a model
            class Book:
                def __init__(self, title, date_published):
                    self.title = title
                    self.date_published = date_published
        
            # a marshalling schema
            class BookSchema(lima.Schema):
                title = lima.fields.String()
                published = lima.fields.Date(attr='date_published')
        
            book = Book('The Old Man and the Sea', datetime.date(1952, 9, 1))
            schema = BookSchema()
            schema.dump(book)
            # {'published': '1952-09-01', 'title': 'The Old Man and the Sea'}
