I would supplement this by suggesting `pydantic` models instead of `TypedDict`s. This library has become a core utility for me as it greatly improves the developer experience with typing/validation/serialization support.

They fulfil different roles. pydantic models would be an alternative to dataclasses, attrs or data-centric classes in general. TypedDict is used when you're stuck with dicts and can't convert them to a specific class.

Yeah they're kind of different. I'm only really talking about TypedDicts because the original post was related to structural typing, which isn't what pydantic does. I do reach for pydantic first myself.
