I’m trying to deserialize a complex nested object from JSON using the jsons library.
The returned object from jsons.loads has the correct type but the nested objects are all of type ‘dict’

Is there a way to deserialize into the full nested object where the nested objects have the correct type?

Here’s a basic example:

import jsons

class Inner:
    def __init__(self):
        self.enabled = False
        self.name = "Inner"
    
class Middle:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "Middle"
        self.inners = []
        for x in range(4): self.inners.append(Inner())      

class Outer:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "Outer"
        self.middles = []
        for x in range(3): self.middles.append(Middle())
            
myOuter = Outer()
print (type(myOuter))             # --> <class '__main__.Outer'>
print (myOuter.middles[1].name)   # --> Middle

myJson = jsons.dumps(myOuter)
reloaded = jsons.loads(myJson, cls=Outer)
print (type(reloaded))             # -->  <class '__main__.Outer'>
print (reloaded.name)              # -->  Outer
print (type(reloaded.middles[1]))  # -->  <class 'dict'>
print (reloaded.middles[1].name)   # -->  AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'name'
