+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Overview
+
+**msgspec-ext** is a high-performance settings management library built on top of msgspec. It provides a pydantic-like API for loading settings from environment variables and .env files, with **3.8x better performance** than pydantic-settings.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```

+
+## Common Commands
+
+### Development
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+uv sync
+
+# Install with dev dependencies
+uv sync --group dev
+
+# Add new dependency
+uv add
+
+# Run tests
+uv run pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run specific test
+uv run pytest tests/test_settings.py::test_name -v
+
+# Run linter (only checks src/)
+uv run ruff check src/
+
+# Format code
+uv run ruff format
+
+# Run benchmark
+uv run python benchmark.py
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+All tests are in `tests/test_settings.py`:
+- 22 comprehensive unit tests
+- Tests cover: basic usage, env vars, type conversion, .env files, validation, serialization
+- Run with: `uv run pytest tests/ -v`
+- Should complete in < 0.1s
+
+### Releases
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Always use the release script:
+
+```bash
+# Create a new release
+./scripts/release.sh
+
+# Example:
+./scripts/release.sh 0.2.0
+```
+
+The script will:
+1. Update `src/msgspec_ext/version.py`
+2. Create git tag
+3. Push to upstream
+4. Trigger GitHub Actions for PyPI publishing
+
+**Never manually edit version.py** - always use the release script!
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Implementation (`settings.py`)
+
+**Key optimization**: Uses bulk JSON decoding instead of field-by-field validation.
+
+```python
+# Old approach (slow):
+for field in fields:
+ value = msgspec.convert(env_value, field_type) # Python loop
+
+# New approach (fast):
+json_bytes = encoder.encode(all_values) # Cached encoder
+return decoder.decode(json_bytes) # Cached decoder, all in C!
+```
+
+**Important classes**:
+- `BaseSettings`: Wrapper factory that creates msgspec.Struct instances
+- `SettingsConfigDict`: Configuration (env_file, env_prefix, etc.)
+
+**Performance optimizations**:
+- Cached encoders/decoders (ClassVar)
+- Automatic field ordering (required before optional)
+- Bulk JSON decoding in C
+- Zero Python loops for validation
+
+### Type Handling
+
+Environment variables are always strings, but we need proper types:
+
+```python
+_preprocess_env_value(env_value: str, field_type: type) -> Any
+```
+
+Handles:
+- `bool`: "true"/"false"/"1"/"0" → True/False
+- `int`/`float`: String to number conversion
+- `list`/`dict`: JSON parsing for complex types
+- `Optional[T]`: Unwraps Union types correctly
+
+### Field Ordering
+
+`msgspec.defstruct` requires required fields before optional fields. We handle this automatically in `_create_struct_class()`:
+
+```python
+required_fields = [(name, type), ...]
+optional_fields = [(name, type, default), ...]
+fields = required_fields + optional_fields # Correct order
+```
+
+## Linting & Code Style
+
+**Ruff configuration** (`pyproject.toml`):
+- Target: Python 3.10+
+- Line length: 88
+- Strict linting for `src/`
+- Relaxed rules for `tests/` and `examples/`
+
+**Running lint**:
+```bash
+# Check only src/ (recommended for quick checks)
+uv run ruff check src/
+
+# Check everything
+uv run ruff check
+
+# Auto-fix issues
+uv run ruff check --fix
+
+# Format code
+uv run ruff format
+```
+
+**Important per-file ignores**:
+- `tests/`: Ignores D (docstrings), S104 (binding), S105 (passwords), etc.
+- `examples/`: Ignores D, S101, S104, S105, T201, F401
+- `benchmark.py`: Ignores D, S101, S105, T201, etc.
+
+## Examples
+
+5 practical examples in `examples/`:
+1. **Basic usage**: Defaults, env vars, explicit values
+2. **Environment prefixes**: Organizing settings with `env_prefix`
+3. **.env files**: Loading from dotenv files
+4. **Advanced types**: Optional, lists, dicts, JSON parsing
+5. **Serialization**: `model_dump()`, `model_dump_json()`, `schema()`
+
+Run examples:
+```bash
+uv run python examples/01_basic_usage.py
+```
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+```bash
+uv run python benchmark.py
+```
+
+Expected results:
+- msgspec-ext: ~0.7ms per load
+- pydantic-settings: ~2.7ms per load (if installed)
+- **Speedup**: 3.8x faster than pydantic-settings
+
+## CI/CD
+
+GitHub Actions workflows:
+- **CI**: Runs on every push (Ruff, Tests, Build)
+- **Publish**: Publishes to PyPI on new tags
+- **Release Drafter**: Auto-generates release notes
+
+**Creating a PR**:
+1. Create feature branch from main
+2. Make changes
+3. Run tests: `uv run pytest tests/ -v`
+4. Run lint: `uv run ruff check src/`
+5. Format: `uv run ruff format`
+6. Push and create PR
+7. Ensure CI passes (Ruff, Tests, Build)
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Adding a new feature
+
+1. Create branch: `git checkout -b feat/feature-name`
+2. Implement feature in `src/msgspec_ext/settings.py`
+3. Add tests in `tests/test_settings.py`
+4. Add example in `examples/` (if user-facing)
+5. Run tests: `uv run pytest tests/ -v`
+6. Run lint: `uv run ruff check src/`
+7. Create PR
+
+### Fixing a bug
+
+1. Add failing test in `tests/test_settings.py`
+2. Fix bug in `src/msgspec_ext/settings.py`
+3. Verify test passes
+4. Run full test suite
+5. Create PR
+
+### Updating dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Update specific package
+uv add package@latest
+
+# Update all dependencies
+uv sync --upgrade
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+- **Always use cached encoder/decoder**: Don't create new instances
+- **Bulk operations**: Process all fields at once via JSON decode
+- **Avoid Python loops**: Let msgspec handle validation in C
+- **Field ordering**: Required before optional (automatic)
+- **Type hints**: Proper annotations enable better performance
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Tests failing**:
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/ -v # See detailed output
+```
+
+**Lint errors**:
+```bash
+uv run ruff check src/ # Check src only
+uv run ruff check --fix # Auto-fix
+```
+
+**Import errors**:
+```bash
+uv sync # Reinstall dependencies
+```
+
+**Performance regression**:
+```bash
+uv run python benchmark.py # Compare with baseline
+```
+

+- `tests/test_settings.py` - Test suite (22 tests)
+- `benchmark.py` - Performance benchmarks
+- `scripts/release.sh` - Release automation (**use this for releases!**)
+- `pyproject.toml` - Project config, dependencies, ruff settings
+
+## Documentation
+
+- `README.md` - User-facing docs with quickstart
+- `examples/README.md` - Example gallery guide
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` - Contribution guidelines
+- `CLAUDE.md` - This file (for Claude Code)
+
+## Notes for Claude Code
+
+- **Releases**: Always use `./scripts/release.sh `, never edit version.py manually
+- **Linting**: Focus on `src/` only (`uv run ruff check src/`)
+- **Tests**: Must maintain 100% pass rate (22/22)
+- **Performance**: Benchmark should show ~0.7ms per load, 3.8x vs pydantic
+- **Examples**: Update if changing user-facing APIs
+- **Breaking changes**: Require major version bump

Subject: [PATCH 03/12] feat: add Phase 2 validators - IP, JSON, MAC, dates,
and more
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Implements 9 new powerful validators:
**Network & Data Types:**
- IPv4Address, IPv6Address, IPvAnyAddress - IP address validation
- Json - JSON string validation
- MacAddress - MAC address with multiple format support
**String Constraints:**
- ConStr - Constrained strings with min/max length and regex patterns
**Storage & Dates:**
- ByteSize - Parse byte sizes with units (KB, MB, GB, KiB, MiB, etc)
- PastDate, FutureDate - Date validation for past/future dates
**Bonus Exports:**
- Added msgspec.Raw and msgspec.UNSET re-exports for convenience
**Test Coverage:**
- Added 67 comprehensive tests (all passing)
- Total: 127 type validator tests
All validators integrate seamlessly with BaseSettings via dec_hook.

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] refactor: remove unnecessary Json validator type
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Removed Json validator type as it adds unnecessary complexity:
- JSON strings are better validated when used, not when loaded
- Using plain `str` type is clearer and more flexible
- Simplifies _preprocess_env_value logic
- Reduces dec_hook complexity
Updated:
- Removed _Json class from types.py
- Removed Json from all imports and exports
- Removed Json tests (121 tests passing)
- Updated example to remove JSON validation section
- Renamed example to 08_advanced_validators.py
All 121 type tests passing ✓

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] test: add comprehensive integration tests for all
validators
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Created test_integration.py with 18 integration tests ensuring all
validators work correctly with BaseSettings:
**Test Coverage:**
- Numeric types: PositiveInt, NegativeInt, PositiveFloat
- String validators: EmailStr, HttpUrl, SecretStr
- Database DSNs: PostgresDsn, RedisDsn
- Path validators: FilePath, DirectoryPath
- Network validators: IPv4Address, IPv6Address, IPvAnyAddress, MacAddress
- Storage & Dates: ByteSize, PastDate, FutureDate
- Complete integration: All validators working together
**Test Results:**
- 18 integration tests: ✓ ALL PASSING
- 121 unit tests: ✓ ALL PASSING
- Total: 220 tests passing in 0.31s
Integration tests verify environment variable parsing, type conversion,
and validation work correctly end-to-end with BaseSettings.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] docs: comprehensive README overhaul - emphasize
validators & type support
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Major improvements to README.md:
**New Description:**
- Updated from "settings management" to "settings management and validation library"
- Better reflects the dual nature of the project
**Enhanced Type Support Section:**
- **All msgspec native types** - Emphasized full compatibility with msgspec's rich type system
- Added link to msgspec supported types: https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/supported-types.html
- Listed key native types: datetime, UUID, Decimal, collections, etc.
- Highlighted msgspec.Raw and msgspec.UNSET re-exports
**26 Custom Validators - Organized by Category:**
- 🔢 Numeric Constraints (8 types)
- 🌐 Network & Hardware (4 types) - NEW: IP addresses, MAC addresses
- ✉️ String Validators (4 types)
- 🗄️ Database & Connections (3 types)
- 📁 Path Validators (2 types)
- 💾 Storage & Dates (3 types) - NEW: ByteSize, PastDate, FutureDate
- 🎯 Constrained Strings (2 types) - NEW: ConStr
**New Advanced Usage Examples:**
- Storage size parsing with ByteSize
- Date validation (past/future)
- Complete examples for all new validators
**Updated Comparison Table:**
- Added "Validators" row: msgspec-ext (26) vs pydantic-settings (~15)
- Emphasized validator advantage
**Better Structure:**
- Quick Start shows validators immediately
- Type Support section right after installation
- Clear categorization with emojis for easy scanning
- Complete validator table with all 26 types
Result: README now clearly communicates that msgspec-ext is both a
settings management tool AND a comprehensive validation library with
26 specialized validators + all msgspec native types.

-from msgspec_ext import BaseSettings, SettingsConfigDict
+from msgspec_ext import BaseSettings, EmailStr, HttpUrl, PositiveInt
class AppSettings(BaseSettings):
- model_config = SettingsConfigDict(
- env_file=".env", # Load from .env file
- env_prefix="APP_" # Prefix for env vars
- )
-
- # Settings with type validation
+ # Basic types (msgspec native support)
name: str
debug: bool = False
- port: int = 8000
- timeout: float = 30.0
+
+ # Numeric validators
+ port: PositiveInt = 8000 # Must be > 0
+ workers: PositiveInt = 4
+
+ # String validators
+ admin_email: EmailStr # RFC 5321 validation
+ api_url: HttpUrl # HTTP/HTTPS only
# Load from environment variables and .env file
settings = AppSettings()
-
-print(settings.name) # from APP_NAME env var
-print(settings.port) # from APP_PORT env var or default 8000
```
-## Environment Variables
-
-By default, msgspec-ext looks for environment variables matching field names (case-insensitive).
-
-**.env file**:
+Set environment variables:
```bash
-APP_NAME=my-app
-DEBUG=true
-PORT=3000
-DATABASE__HOST=localhost
-DATABASE__PORT=5432
+export NAME="my-app"
+export ADMIN_EMAIL="admin@example.com"
+export API_URL="https://api.example.com"
```
-**Python code**:
-```python
-from msgspec_ext import BaseSettings, SettingsConfigDict
+## Type Support
-class AppSettings(BaseSettings):
- model_config = SettingsConfigDict(
- env_file=".env",
- env_nested_delimiter="__"
- )
+msgspec-ext supports **all msgspec native types** plus **26 additional validators** for common use cases.
- app_name: str
- debug: bool = False
- database_host: str = "localhost"
- database_port: int = 5432
+### Built-in msgspec Types
-settings = AppSettings()
-# Automatically loads from .env file and environment variables
-```
+msgspec-ext has full compatibility with [msgspec's extensive type system](https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/supported-types.html):
-## Advanced Usage
+- **Basic**: `bool`, `int`, `float`, `str`, `bytes`, `bytearray`
+- **Collections**: `list`, `tuple`, `set`, `frozenset`, `dict`
+- **Typing**: `Optional`, `Union`, `Literal`, `Final`, `Annotated`
+- **Advanced**: `datetime`, `date`, `time`, `timedelta`, `UUID`, `Decimal`
+- **msgspec**: `msgspec.Raw`, `msgspec.UNSET` (re-exported for convenience)
+
+Plus many more - see the [full list in msgspec documentation](https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/supported-types.html).
-### Field Validators

### How is it so fast?
-msgspec-ext achieves its performance through:
-- **Bulk validation**: Validates all fields at once in C (via msgspec), not one-by-one in Python
-- **Custom .env parser**: Built-in fast parser with zero external dependencies (no python-dotenv overhead)
-- **Smart caching**: Caches .env files, field mappings, and type information - loads after the first are 169x faster
-- **Optimized file operations**: Uses fast os.path operations instead of slower pathlib alternatives
-- **Zero overhead**: Fast paths for common types (str, bool, int, float) with minimal Python code
+msgspec-ext achieves exceptional performance through:
-This means your application **starts faster** and uses **less memory**, especially important for:
-- 🚀 **CLI tools** - 7.0x faster startup every time you run the command
-- ⚡ **Serverless functions** - Lower cold start latency means better response times
-- 🔄 **Long-running apps** - After the first load, reloading settings is 169x faster (11 microseconds!)
+1. **Bulk validation**: Validates all fields at once in C (via msgspec), not one-by-one in Python
+2. **Custom .env parser**: Built-in fast parser with zero external dependencies (117.5x faster than pydantic)
+3. **Smart caching**: Caches .env files, field mappings, and type information - subsequent loads are 169x faster
+4. **Optimized file operations**: Uses fast `os.path` operations instead of slower `pathlib`
+5. **Zero overhead**: Fast paths for common types with minimal Python code
+
+This means:
+- 🚀 **CLI tools** - 7.0x faster startup every invocation
+- ⚡ **Serverless functions** - Lower cold start latency
+- 🔄 **Long-running apps** - Reloading settings takes only 11 microseconds after first load!

Subject: [PATCH 09/12] feat: add msgspec struct examples and serialization
hooks to README
- Export dec_hook and enc_hook for use with msgspec structs
- Add 'With msgspec Structs' section to Quick Start
- Add msgspec struct examples to validator sections (Network, Storage)
- Add 'Use Cases' section with real-world examples:
- API Request/Response validation
- Configuration files with validation
- Message queue data validation (MessagePack)
- Add enc_hook for serializing custom types to JSON/MessagePack
- Update pyproject.toml to ignore UP038 lint rule
- All validators now work seamlessly with both BaseSettings and msgspec.Struct

+## Use Cases
+
+### API Request/Response Validation
+
+```python
+import msgspec
+from msgspec_ext import EmailStr, HttpUrl, PositiveInt, ByteSize, dec_hook, enc_hook
+
+class CreateUserRequest(msgspec.Struct):
+ email: EmailStr
+ age: PositiveInt

+)
+
+# Serialize response
+response = UserResponse(id=1, email=request.email, website=request.website)
+json_bytes = msgspec.json.encode(response, enc_hook=enc_hook)
+```
+
+### Configuration Files with Validation
+
+```python
+import msgspec
+from msgspec_ext import IPv4Address, PositiveInt, PostgresDsn, ByteSize, dec_hook
+
+class ServerConfig(msgspec.Struct):
+ host: IPv4Address
+ port: PositiveInt
+ database_url: PostgresDsn
+ max_upload: ByteSize
+ workers: PositiveInt = 4
+
+# Load from JSON config file
+with open("config.json", "rb") as f:
+ config = msgspec.json.decode(f.read(), type=ServerConfig, dec_hook=dec_hook)
+
+print(f"Server: {config.host}:{config.port}")
+print(f"Max upload: {int(config.max_upload)} bytes")
+```

+
+class ScheduledTask(msgspec.Struct):
+ task_id: str
